Tera Melos is one of those amazing experimental bands that you can try to describe and just fall flat. They do pretty much everything that you could possibly imagine that’s awesome and do it damn well. Toss in ambient, weird time signatures (that actually work and don’t sound contrived), a bevy of effects/samples, and all of this from one a trio of dudes from California. Stunning. Shine it up and crank up the speakers. Oh and check them out live with seminal experimental maestros Melt-Banana on the West Coast…
