In running their usual gauntlet of idiosyncratic approaches, Clerkin \u0026amp; co. Color in and outside of compositional lines over the course of 40+ celebratory minutes - never wallowing, despite inherently somber subject matters of self-defeat, disease, displacement, restlessness, gentrification - allowing their arrangements and improvisations ample space and time to situate, stretch out, breathe, cross-pollinate, and ultimately take deeper hold on the listener's imagination - all while somehow sounding more like themselves than ever before.Of course, there are traceable influences herein.. Being the big dumb American from the small boring town that I am, cornfed on '90s alternative radio with the enchantingly exotic sounds of Maxinquaye and Mezzanine emanating from my chunky tube television, I can't help but to make a blatantly obvious reference to a \"Bristol sound\", ie the whole trip-hop trip, the pastoral crooning over the suggestive urban grime of cracked electro\/piano treatments, the digitally-yet-primitively reconstructed James Bond soundtrack string-beats, etc.. But the Tara Clerkin Trio is so infinitely much more than that. There are elements of avant-pop, modern classical, kraut-folk, audio verité, dare I say indie rock (and not of the beer guzzling, masturbatory fuzz-flex variety but perhaps more like a Trish Keenan-fronted Faust, Adrian Sherwood at the mixing desk of If You're Feeling Sinister, or - in expanding on our alternate reality - a world in which High Llamas cut a full-length for Warp Records with Andrew Weatherall on coffee duty).- Ryan Davis (Chicago, February 2026)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lake Walk \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lazy Daisy \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ups ; Downs \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Silently \u003cbr\u003e1.5 There Was a Nice Sunset \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Somewhere Good \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Slow Island \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Movin' on\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tara Clerkin Trio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42766092369991,"sku":"46147936","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4506910-3575110.jpg?v=1778530205","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/tara-clerkin-trio-somewhere-good-vinyl-lp","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
