CD REVIEW: ENTROPY OF THE CENTURY by Moetar

ENTROPY OF THE CENTURY by Moetar
(Magna Carta Records)

Progressive rock act Mortar return with their sophomore release, 'Entropy Of The Century'. Being thoroughly amazed with the band's debut, 'These Small Seeds', I was eager to hear what new heights the band would take my senses. Hailing from, East Bay, California,  MoeTar deliver a sounds like no other band. Moorea Dickason - Vocals • Matthew Heulitt - Guitar • Tarik Ragab - Bass • Matt Lebofsky - Keys • Jonathan Herrera - Keyboards and David M Flores - Drums. Musically, the band has so many influences. You can notice early Genesis, Kansas, Frank Zappa, Super Furry Animals, XTC, Queen and  Nina Simone and so many other iconic artists in the structure of the band's musical repertoire. One thing is certain, you know that you have never heard a band like this. Amazing musicianship, brilliant lyrics and unforgettable vocals. The musicianship is tight, even as the band members switch musical dynamics or change time signatures. As the band exhibits on tracks like the lead off single, "Regression To The Mean", "Welcome To The Solar Flares", "Letting Go Of Life" and " Raze The Maze". The musicians don't hog the spotlight. In any given part of any song, you can pick out an instrument and hear how tight this band truly is. Allowing you, the listener, to sit back and enjoy the tapestry that each musician creates. There are twists and turns, but I never felt lost. 'Entropy Of The Century' delivers, well-produced, well-arranged, interesting, and exciting music with impressive consistency. - Highly Recommended
