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 who plays with several groups including nunofyrbeeswax, VROUW! and (also with Aidan) Hypnodrone Ensemble.
