about

Tavare began playing together in Berlin in 2020, making stripped-down, minimal music – slow, fragmentary songs with sparse vocal lines and harmonies – evoking both a retro ’90s slowcore sound and contemporary pop forms and structures. The trio consists of Aidan Baker, originally from Canada but based in Berlin for over a decade, who makes music ranging from ambient/experimental to post-rock to drone-jazz, both solo and with various groups, mostly notably the dreamsludge duo Nadja; Tristen Bakker, also from Canada, who makes soft-noise, prog, ambient and punk music as a solo artist and with groups such as VROUW! and Otolitos; and Angela Muñoz, a musician, dancer and performer from Spain, who plays with several groups including nunofyrbeeswax, VROUW! and (also with Aidan) Hypnodrone Ensemble.

On June 15, 2024, Tavare was invited to play a concert as part of the Keith F'eM "Church In Session" series at the Startbahn Berlin / Genezarethkirche in the neighbourhood of Neukölln, Berlin. The trio set up early in the church and over the course of the day, before the concert, recorded these seven songs for Too Small to Be So High, their debut album on God Unknown (vinyl), Cruel Nature (cass – UK), and Katuktu Collective (cass – US). Using the natural reverb of the church and with minimal overdubs, the trio attempted to capture the immediacy and delicacy of these songs as they would be presented live later that day.
