Describing MoeTar is no easy feat. In fact, the task is as challenging as the band's music itself. A simplistic and accurate statementcould be "MoeTar sounds like the Beatles + Frank Zappa + XTC on Acid". You could also try to peg MoeTar to a list of genres, but who the hell knows what a prog-pop-fusion-avant fusion band sounds like anyway?

MoeTar's two main protagonists, lead singer Moorea Dickason and bassist/songwriter/lyricist Tarik Ragab, along with a versatile crew of musicians, including guitarist Matthew Charles Heulitt (Zigaboo Modeliste, Narada Michael Walden), drummer David Flores and keyboardist Matt Lebofsky (miRthkon), and keyboardist Jonathan Herrera create catchy, yet complex, music that attempts to make sense of our confusing world.

The fact is, MoeTar's music defies categorization and, therein, lies the band's special appeal. Tricky rhythms and technical pyrotechnics are not in themselves anything special.

On Entropy of the Century, MoeTar expands its palette even further. The band understands the power of pop to deliver a message that sticks, but unlike most pop, uses the full breadth of the musical language to convey that message.

Entropy of the Century captures an important new band coming into its own, harnessing the disparate powers of its extraordinary musicians for a common purpose. Don't bother trying to define the band. Just listen. Listen to the band and listen to what the public has said:

Wow! This song leveled me. Simply fantastic. Finally something fresh.

I had to buy the album and hear the rest of this strange aural concoction.

The singer's vocals are beautiful, strong, and easy on the ears.

If you like modern progressive rock with a dose of experimentation, you will dig this.

Great tune! The singer's voice is kinda bland, though.

Bloody hell, that was a shot out of the blue. What a striking tune this is and in a good way. The shifting metres are unsettling at first but actually groove pretty hard once you adjust to them. How the singer can carry a melody over that racket is puzzling but good on her for doing so. I loved it. And I loved the grindy keyboards.

MoeTar: Fantastic Progressive Rock band. Featured in GuitarPlayer this month. Name comes from a mix of the names of the two lead players.#ProgRock, #MoeTar

Ahhh...1st timer here who "has heard it all" and I must say very, VERY nice!All fine elements coalescing perfectly for this tune and after hearing a coupla' more I must say Bravo!Surprisingly technical but w/ an ease of delivery matched by a vocal approach that can only be described as a breath of fresh air compared to nihilistic, easy way out or twee, retrogressive, anachronistical approaches most modern progressives employ.Appropriate for the times and exciting!

I hear Zappa. I hear Todd Rundgren. I hear Gentle Giant. All coalescing into something entirely fresh, new and vibrant. Can't wait to see them live in January.

Saw them last year in Berkeley at The Starry Plough and in Marin at 19 Broadway in Fairfax a few nights ago. Boy am I lucky they are local! Nice folks too.

This band is so fucking awesome, definitely a new found love of mine. The intro keyboard riff is so reminiscent of Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum and other projects involving those musicians but the rest of everything they do is is extremely unique. The keyboard player from this band is from Mirthkon which is also insanely bad ass if you havent heard it

I've loved MoeTar since their first album, but can we please all lose the rockist bullshit in describing them? "Tricky rhythms and technical pyrotechnics are not in themselves anything special." Uhh ... *no*. If that were the case, then why would any band spend the enormous amount of time and effort to both compose and learn how to play them convincingly? There's nothing wrong with pop-prog crossover (or, as MoeTar has proven, pop-*avant-prog* crossover), but let's not kid ourselves that technics isn't what love about progrock.I'm freakin' down with odd time signatures, k.
