Bio

Melding the aggression of punk with the technical intricacies of prog

rock, math rock trio Tera Melos use jerky shifts in time signatures and

disjointed guitar noodling that bears a close resemblance to Don

Caballero and Hella. Like their counterparts in instrumental rock,

finger-tapped guitar parts are the centerpiece, complemented by angular

bass riffs and splintered spaz-jazz drumming, but contrasting dynamics

are a bigger focus of the band's songs, with ambient electronics and

sparse vocal lines occasionally incorporated into the interludes to

offset some of the more convoluted and noisier sections.
