- Tera Melos【 45 songs in total 】
- Tera Melos is an American band from Sacramento, California, that incorporates many styles of rock, ambient electronics and unconventional song structures. They are currently a three-piece (formerly four), consisting of guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Nick Reinhart, bassist Nathan Latona, and drummer John Clardy. Tera Melos play a brand of music characterized by quickly alternating rhythmic patterns, start-stop dynamics, improvisation, two-handed tapping on the guitar, extended open-ended bridges, and the use of effect pedals and samplers. Though the band has typically eschewed the label of math rock, they are considered recent innovators of the genre.
Musical style
Tera Melos's sound is labeled as math rock, experimental rock and punk jazz, with influences from progressive rock and post-hardcore. AllMusic critic Jason Lymangrover wrote that the band melds 'the aggression of punk with the technical intricacies of prog rock,' using 'jerky shifts in time signatures and disjointed guitar noodling with a close resemblance to Don Caballero and Hella.' The band's music also features tapped guitar parts, as well as angular bass riffs and splintered spazz-jazz drumming, complemented with ambient electronics and sparse vocal lines.
Starting with Patagonian Rats in 2010, the band started to infuse pop elements and harmonic singing to their sound, 'making a shift from unconventional song structures of ambient-indebted post rock to hyper-technical guitar pop.' Their third album, X'ed Out (2013), incorporated influences from skate punk, dream pop, and proto-emo.
