Tera Melos Release New 51-minute Song, Tour Documentary Trailer

Sacramento genre-benders Tera Melos have released a new 51-minute-long track called "Echo On the Hills of Knebworth" in an effort to raise funds for an upcoming UK/Ireland jaunt this summer. Additionally, a full-length documentary of the band's recent co-headlining tour with Marnie Stern was shot by Terroreyes.tv for release later this year. The trailer includes snippets of behind-the-scenes road antics and live footage.

Tera Melos' lengthy new song is culled from an extensive improvisation recorded in the studio while completing their most recent album, "Patagonian Rats." Fans are asked to donate a $5 minimum to download the song, with all proceeds going directly to the band to offset travel costs for their upcoming first tour in the UK and Ireland.

The group launches its overseas dates with the Forbidden Fruit Festival (with Flaming Lips, Aphex Twin, Battles and many more) in Dublin, performing on the stage curated by Sargent House sibling label The Richter Collective (home of breakout trio Adebisi Shank).

Tera Melos' most recent album "Patagonian Rats" landed on many Best of 2010 lists, as well as receiving raves from Wired.com, Exclaim!, ALARM Press, Impose and Exploding In Sound. Marnie Stern also named it her favorite album of the year in SPIN.
