The early work of Sacramento’s Tera Melos, marked by lurching splatter-prog grooves and skillful juggling of dreamy beauty and twitchy aggression, bore a clear debt to their hometown predecessors Hella. Orbiting around core members Nick Reinhart and Nathan Latona, the band evolved handsomely across the next decade-plus: Their fourth LP, Trash Generator, retained their signature batshit complexity while making room for punk-rock drive, dance-pop momentum and understated melodic vocals that offset the spasmodic mania exploding around them. This is math rock that keeps its compass pointed toward a warped kind of song form.
