Tara Clerkin Trio are Pat Benjamin, Sunny Joe Paradisos and Tara Clerkin, three musicians involved in a number of 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 & minimalism, twirling the non-pretentious strands of these threads together into a trippy green winged-cloak, adorning Arthur Russell and dripping in blue jam.

Duncan Marquiss (The Phantom Band) combines electronic guitar manipulations with wandering acoustic to create kosmiche-folk instrumentals. 

“He draws a thread between the resonant bass of guitarists such as Bert Jansch or Jim O’Rourke, and the gasoline groove of Cluster or Neu! The result is a filmic album of wide landscapes and wider inner spaces.”   The Quietus
