Tera Melos, Speedy Ortiz
With The Goat Wizard.
High Noon Saloon 701A E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Members of the California math rock trio Tera Melos (pictured) are experts in creating music through the power of expansion and contraction, layering atmospheric electronics and frenetic guitar noodling over wild polyphonic rhythms. The band has been on hiatus for a few years while members pursued other projects, but 2017 brought a new LP, Trash Generator — exactly the kind of tight, dense, exuberant album that fans have been waiting for. They’re touring with the excellent Massachusetts indie quartet Speedy Ortiz, a group that channels the quirky, Pavement-inspired slacker-rock vibe of the ’90s. With The Goat Wizard.
