Tara Clerkin Trio – Somewhere Good

Is Tara Clerkin Trio the Portishead of today? Somewhere Good gives every reason to think so. Found sounds, everyday noises, self-sampling, loops. Bristol as point of departure. Their song »Silently« is at least as sad as »Roads«. Tara Clerkin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Patrick Benjamin make pop that remains accessible, but constantly shifts expectations. Job loss, gentrification, everyday life – no bling, no theory, just the simply complicated business of being. Tara Clerkin Trio make pop against algorithmic life. Somewhere Good is a masterpiece.
