The rest of the interwebs (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:terse) seem to prefer "to the point" or "neatly short" to this "smoothly elegant" idea. In any case, I am now more prepared for the GRE Verbal section, should I ever choose to go back to grad school. Thanks!

I don't know the Dirty Projectors at all but I agree that this is a great quote. I looked up the word terse, to see what he was getting at, and found out that it can mean both "smoothly elegant" and "abrupt, brusque." How is this possible? Is it one of those screwy words like cleave and biannually? Are online dictionaries bunk? (And no, I didn't see "ant." next to the elegant one.) Anyways, cool quote. Taught me something. I think. Ha!
