Tera Melos have been working on a new record for some time. I would even guess that the album’s been finished for a while since guitarist and vocalist Nick Reinhardt had the time to come out with a solo album for Christmas. Today, they had a song, “Tropic Lane” premier on Rolling Stone from their upcoming album. The album, X’d Out, comes out on April 16, and is suddenly on my radar as one of the most anticipated releases of the year (I like Tera Melos, and I’m not ashamed). Nick has gotten better at singing over his own taste of odd math rock, and with each passing record, he seems to be a better songwriter.

They’re also expected to go on tour soon; we’ll keep you posted when they make an announcement. Download “Tropic Lane” and see the full track list after the break.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
