Tera Melos have a weird vibe, like, I'm
not sure if I should compare them to Marnie Stern or Health or Animal
Collective. Catchy sampler-meets-guitar, double-tapped, post-garage
noise stuff. They've released things through Temporary Residence Limited
(label-mates The Books, Pinback, Mono, and Young Widows contextualize it a bit) and they've been doing
weird, loud, quasi-pop for the better part of a decade. Their songs seem at once innocuous and possibly laptop-ed, then some abrupt, explosive guitar will remind you that loud noises are a thing. For instance, puzzle over "Weird Circles" below. I don't know
how they pull it off with live instrumentation, but we'll find out together at the
Tralf tonight (622 Main St., 8PM, $10), with the equally nebulous
sonic cartography of FANG ISLAND.
