We weren’t familiar with Bristol based group Tara Clerkin Trio up until now but they caught our ears on first listen, with their experimental and hypnotic compositions, flirting with a lot of genres like jazz, folk, dub, trip hop and downtempo electronica. With an eponymous debut album under their collective belt, the trio of Tara Clerkin and brothers Sunny-Joe Paradiso and Patrick Benjamin have announced their second release, a 4-track EP titled In Spring. The EP is described as “a record of subtle contrasts, experimental yet familiar in its intimacy, obviously modern though tied to certain lineages, and driven by a pop logic which is also free-form and seemingly improvised.”

In Spring arrives on October 1st through World of Echo but we can already get lost in their music with the magnificent and mesmerizing title track.
