A collective turned trio, Tara Clerkin craft free-flowing psychedelia with heavy dub drums amidst woozy washes of harpsichord and synths. Influenced by the natural landscape and their West Country hometown, their 2023 EP On the Turning Ground is a mesmerising sophomore release. Their sound lies somewhere between the avant-jazz of Moondog, the sun-tinged psych-folk of These Trails, and something else entirely. Tara Clerkin Trio embody an extraordinary otherness that should be witnessed by all.

“Drifting from dubby minimalism to smudged acid jazz, Tara’s stark and tuneful voice acts as the vehicle for her concise poetic lyricism. The group coalesce disparate influences into a cohesive sound, reflecting a romantic view of a familiar world.” - The Wire

The Caribbean - "They're taking Brill Building songs and writing them in invisible ink, turning jazz standards into Twilight Zone episodes, turning folk songs into clouds of fog." - PopMatters
