Tara Clerkin Trio is both a touchpoint and a beacon, orientating and resplendent. Not since Stereolab has a group combined such an effortless sense of melody with restless experimentalism and faultless good taste. Listening to them, you get an immediate sense of their influences—soft psychedelic pop, trip-hop, jazz-looping downtempo, chillout mixes, dub, jazz proper—but you never feel they’re simply playing back their record collection. They’re synthesists and true originals. First-rate musicians, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir fourth record, \u003ci\u003eSomewhere Good\u003c\/i\u003e, finds them unintimidated by past successes and cruising smoothly in their lane. There are new directions—the florid, cartoonish instrumentals that bookend the album, the hangdog dub pop of “Slow Island,” which introduces a new male vocal—but fundamentally, their latest full-length finds them consolidating the strengths of their self-titled debut and twin EPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trio’s vocal numbers are so memorable that it can be easy to forget that roughly half their output consists of more exploratory jams. Starry-eyed piano loops, haunted vocal samples, wheezy melodica, and fluent clarinet lines float atop downtempo drums and rolling basslines nicked from drum’n’bass. Put this on in the morning and it’s a sunny pop record. Spin it late at night and it’s an expansive psychedelic zoner. See them live and marvel at the deftness with which they can conjure loops, swap instruments, and kick out these kaleidoscopic jams in real time.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve said it before: we’re living through a sneaky golden era of underground music. Every year, I’m astonished by the number of great records. But things move quickly; novelty wears off; scenes morph, dissipate, or move on. Tara Clerkin Trio have proved themselves to be something rarer in this frenetic decade: A great band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=736808220\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/taraclerkintrio.bandcamp.com\/album\/somewhere-good\"\u003eSomewhere Good by Tara Clerkin Trio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44022184542342,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/Tara_Clerkin_Trio_-_Somewhere_Good.jpg?v=1780245796","url":"https:\/\/seasonalworkrecords.com\/products\/tara-clerkin-trio-somewhere-good-preorder","provider":"Seasonal Work","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
