 The band’s sound is an explosive mix of acid surf-rock and exotic psychedelic Middle Eastern sounds.

 After a promising start, this EP gets lost in compositions that may be fun but musically uninteresting, if not vacuous, as well as entirely unoriginal.

Ouzo Bazooka's EP 'Songs From 1001 Nights' offers a psychedelic surf-rock blend with Middle Eastern influences rooted in the cultural mix of Tel Aviv's Jaffa area. Led by Uri Brauner Kinrot, the EP showcases mostly instrumental tracks with electronic and exotic sounds. While the concept is compelling, the musical execution often lacks originality and depth. The EP starts strong but fades into less engaging compositions, making it a mixed listen. Dive into Ouzo Bazooka's unique Middle Eastern psychedelic sounds and decide if their fusion hits the mark for you.

Despite aiming to reflect political and social turmoil, the album falls short musically with lifeless indie sounds and uninspired experimentation.

 Unexpected. From a group like the Pooh, totally unexpected... departing from themes linked to youthful love stories.

 True poems that denote great courage from Valerio Negrini, masterfully arranged by Dodi Battaglia’s guitar and a renewed Facchinetti.

Poohlover is a notably daring album from Pooh, shifting from youthful love themes to address complex topics like homosexuality and prostitution.
