We fell under the spell of Tara Clerkin Trio and their experimental and hypnotic compositions drawing from a wealth of genres, from jazz, folk and dub to trip hop and downtempo electronica. The band's recently released In Spring EP is one of the most thrilling surprises of this year, so we’re over the moon to have Tara Clerkin and brothers Sunny-Joe Paradiso and Patrick Benjamin orchestrate this month’s wondrous mixtape with a very special selection of tracks. Aptly titled In In Spring, here's how the band went about making their selection:
"Each of us picked a song for each track from our new e.p In Spring that directly influenced us or we borrowed from in some way."
