I’ll confess, I don’t know what their respective roles are within the operation and there’s only a very small part of me that cares to learn, as one of my favorite qualities in an objective listening experience is the mystery of who is playing what, which sounds are “authentic” versus synthesized, which chunks are performed “live” in a room together versus meticulously Frankenstein’ed from measure to measure, or how exactly the overall sound is so (seemingly) effortlessly achieved. Though, I suspect, if and when I do witness a live performance by this band at any point, my enjoyment of the music will not be lost in my better understanding of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two extraordinary mini-albums –\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Spring\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(2021) and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn The Turning Groun\u003c\/em\u003ed (2023) – making a splash on London’s formidable\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld of Echo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003elabel in wake of their self-titled 2020 debut, this upcoming\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSomewhere Good\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP is, in many ways, the band’s most realised work. In running their usual gauntlet of idiosyncratic (*an overused adjective for which here there is regrettably no sufficient alternative) approaches, Clerkin \u0026amp; co. color in and outside of compositional lines over the course of 40+ celebratory minutes - never wallowing, despite inherently somber subject matters of self-defeat, disease, displacement, restlessness, gentrification - allowing their arrangements and improvisations ample space and time to situate, stretch out, breathe, cross-pollinate, and ultimately take deeper hold on the listener’s imagination – all while somehow sounding more like themselves than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e– \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRyan Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (Chicago, February 2026) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLake Walk \u003cbr\u003e2.
