X’ed Out Tera Melos SKU: SH097LP Barcode: 634457577114 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House Released Date: 15th April 2013 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info \”Akin to the type of freak-pop perversion dished out by daring pioneers like Devo and The Flaming Lips.\” – Wired Truly great art is that which can\’t be easily understood and dissected, but immediately resonates nonetheless. Tera Melos\’ new full length, X\’ed Out is just that kind of adventure. The songs transcend in a way that makes you want to sit friends down to hear it, not only to share the experience, but perhaps in hopes that together you can create the world in which songs like this can be defined. It hits mental buttons and flicks internal switches that you never knew existed, while cleverly obscuring the technical precision for which the band has been known. It\’s remarkably multifaceted, incredibly catchy and perplexing to unravel exactly how it all works. \”It\’s like visiting a friend who lives on the 14th floor of a building with no elevator, yet he has a grand piano in his apartment,\” explains bassist Nathan Latona. \”How did he get it there? Was it carried up 14 flights of stairs, assembled on site or what? This record is the piano in the apartment with no elevator. We wanted to do all of the tricky stuff in a way that doesn\’t seem noticeable.\” X\’ed Out is the culmination of an arc begun on Tera Melos\’ first proper full-length, Patagonian Rats (Sargent House, 2010) — a supercollider of 60s pop hooks, Minutemen garage-prog, post-punk evisceration, wiry psychedelia and nearly everything else in-between. Here, the Sacramento based trio burns and simmers simultaneously while situated somewhere without benefit of location services. It\’s a nowhere land, X\’ed Out of the grid, both inviting and daring. Join us. From the very first fluttering notes of album opener \”Weird Circles\” it\’s clear that we\’re encountering an entirely new Tera Melos. Guitarist/vocalist Nick Reinhart\’s steady, rhythmic palm-muted strumming and Latona\’s nimble counter-melody glide the song through the ether like Tangerine Dream with stringed instruments. Reinhart\’s soft falsetto vocals hover at the forefront until drummer John Clardy\’s propulsive beat kicks in short, sharp jolts with wailing noise leading up to a triumphant crescendo. Elsewhere, \”Bite\” soars with a chiming harmonized guitar drone smeared over repetitive, mechanical sounding rhythms. Haunting Beach Boys style \”do do do\” vocals lead in to the bubbly, rapid-fire notes of \”Sunburn\” before erupting into the unabashed pop hooks of the chorus. Mellower moments, like the swooning guitar drone and vocal harmonies of \”No Phase\” and threadbare-yet-bludgeoning \”Melody Nine\” show just how richly developed the band\’s musical palette has become. \”Tropic Lame\” sounds almost reminiscent of Goo-era Sonic Youth\’s maligned guitar melodies — skronking, ringing, bending — while the whole band lean into their instruments to create a massive haze of joyful noise. \”I\’d initially wanted to make a really simple and minimal record,\” Reinhart says. \”But our minds wander way too much, so when the songs came to life, they raged a little more than expected. In the process, it became clear that to move forward we needed to think less.\” Clardy agrees, \”we\’re not trying to bludgeon people over their heads with technicality. It\’s more deceptively simple.\” Artist Tera Melos Genre Rock And Pop Label Sargent House Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1. Weird Circles 2. New Chlorine 3.
