TARA CLERKIN TRIO are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos, and Tara Clerkin, three musicians who were involved in several cult Bristol bands over the years before confidently settling down in triangle formation. They are inspired by and borrow from jazz, trip-hop, electronica, psychedelia, and minimalism, twirling the non-pretentious strands of these threads together into a trippy green winged cloak, adorning Arthur Russell and dripping in blue jam.
Their self-titled debut LP was released in 2020 and was a sleeper hit, coming in at 35 in The Wire’s top 100 albums of the year and Bleep’s top 10. Their latest EP, ‘On The Turning Ground’, was released on World of Echo in November. Whilst their inspirations might be centreless, the trio still possess a very obvious anchor in the form of their hometown. Bristol stands as a city of multitudes, heterogeneous and vibrant in such a way as to allow it to renew and remake time and again. Tara Clerkin Trio drink from that same well, reflecting a rich musical heritage built on fwd-facing electronic subcultures and experimental urges. As such, ‘On The Turning Ground’ finds them subject to their subtle internal evolution, the pervasive sense that you’ve caught them mid-bloom, on their way to becoming but never anything but themselves.

ABLE NOISE is an experimental baritone guitar and drum duo based in The Hague and Athens. They create a minimal and visual musical performance through the use of voice, tape and alternative methods of playing their instruments. Their output is primarily focused on live concerts, letting their music be shaped by the physicality of their playing, the acoustic and aesthetic properties of the space, and the dynamics formed between themselves and their audience. Their recorded work relies less on their respective instruments and more on an assemblage of field recordings, heavily processed instrumentation, and exploratory mixing techniques. They released their recorded debut in 2020 through the Glasgow label GLARC, and their subsequent recorded work is due to be released in late 2024 through the London label World of Echo.
