A couple weeks back, Sacramento trio Tera Melos released their new album, X’ed Out, via Sargent House. “Weird Circles” inaugurates the work with a twitchy guitar that proceeds to a wash of seemingly oceanic dynamics. This sets the trajectory for X’ed Out as many of the songs move from the often beautifully sedate to switched on animation, and back and forth. Songs like “Sunburn” standout while delivering a propulsive momentum contained and carried on with what comes across as ornate movements within movements. All in all, X’ed Out is a compelling listen packed with elsewhere tones and emotions seen through well thought out departures, vignettes, and psychic gasps.
