"Whoa, this one threw me for a loop. I'm honestly not sure what even compelled me to play this in the first place, as judging by the cover you'd probably expect it to be a rather run of the mill garage rock revivalist album, a genre I generally have little use for. I know, I know, the old cliché about not judging a book by its cover, but that's truly the case here, as Charlie Megira has managed to thoroughly subvert my expectations with his very, very peculiar and unique take on fifties rock-n-roll. Megira and his band hail from Jaffa-Tel Aviv, Israel, and clearly have a more than passing familiarity with the works of Link Wray and Dick Dale, amongst god knows what other archaic and long forgotten early rock-and-roll 45s, yet those influences all get filtered through some sort of weird, lo-fi and contemporary take on Joe Meek. Megira is obviously bursting at the seams, creatively; there are twenty-five tracks on here, with the average tune clocking in at about two minutes, and in some respects he could be compared to Ariel Pink if you replaced the 70s AM fixation with beach films and Back from Grave comps. There are a couple of lovely ballads sung in Hebrew that seem to border just on the edge of parody, but like nearly everything on this album, Megira's approach is so spot-on that he pulls it off. A highly enjoyable and pleasant surprise."

"Charlie Megria hails from Israel's own Pleiadian realm of Beit-She'an. Nothing too ground breaking here, but the sound of this album is amazing. It's 50's-60's rock & roll with WAY too much reverb on pretty much everything. Songs are short, but perfect length. Lo-fi that only rivals something that Guided By Voices would do. THIS is what I think of when someone says rock & roll. "
