Terramara released 3 albums:
TERRAMARA: Fans of Steely Dan, The Police, Joe Jackson or Ben Folds will love this album of smart, finely crafted pop-rock gems. These tracks are filled with tight, funky grooves, lush, jazz tinged harmonies, and an edgy rock sensibility. Centered around the rhythmic pop styled songwriting of vocalist and keyboardist Rob Meany, the band's sound is augmented by rock guitar and a grooving rhythm section.
FOUR BLOCKS TO HENNEPIN: includes 13 songs by Rob Meany, arranged and performed by Terramara. Two years in the making, the album was recorded mostly at the Terrarium in Minneapolis under the steady hand of producer Ken Chastain (Greazy Meal, Flipp, and Beat the Clock).
DUST & FICTION: Terramara's latest release is its most sonically rich album yet. While retaining its signature sound: melodic piano-based pop songs with refreshing harmonic twists and lush harmonies, the band has expanded its palette of sounds to create an album that shimmers with layered guitars and keyboards. Listen to this one with headphones.
