Striking lyrics and catchy tunes. Remarkable depth in simplicity. Laid back yet strikes at the core. Everyone, meet the Neoterics, my new favorite band.
But what is a Neoteric? You would think that since it's got the prefix "neo," it should be like in the meaning of new. So, let's see what my friend, the hyperdictionary, has to say:
\Ne`o*ter"ic\, Neoterical \Ne`o*ter"ic*al\, a. [L.
neotericus, gr. ?, fr. ?, compar. of ? young, new.]
Recent in origin; modern; new. ``Our neoteric verbs.''
--Fitzed. Hall.
Some being ancient, others neoterical. --Bacon.
\Ne`o*ter"ic\, n.
One of modern times; a modern
And yes, this is something fresh and new, though the lyrics and thoughts imbued in their tunes may have been existent for a much longer period of time. If you want something different, something unadulterated, reminiscent of times before the greatest artists succumbed to what is popular rather than what is true, then this music is for you. Their songs are all on my iPod with an equal rating of 5 stars even, something not even my favorite singer-songwriter of all time can boast of ;) Granted one of their lead vocalists/guitarists is a friend of mine, so I might be biased. But at worst, these folks have a very undeserved minimum of 4 stars.
Concheeta, don't be "too busy for me", now... you guys ROCK! You make me want to regroup and start a band again! I hope to see you in NYC!
