Tera Melos Live

Last week I got to see Tera Melos twice on their current tour with Portugal the Man and The Photo Atlas. Both shows were inspiring!

Tera Melos is one of my favorite unsigned bands right now. They are basically and instrumental band. Recently they have added some vocals, but their vocal style is almost an added sound effect and not a driving force to their songs. When they do add vocals they are low in the mix and are not intended to stand out above the music.

Their sound is a mix some where between Pelican and Explosions in the Sky, with the melody of Explosions, and the explosions of Pelican. Like most instrumental bands their charm is their technical abilities making them bands band to be sure. Unfortunately you may not hear their name a lot in the next year but all the bands you are listening will be listening to them.
