We paid attention to bands from Tel Aviv in preparation for a post dedicated to the Indie scene in Israel. In prior posts, praise was given to the Post Punk sound of Vaadat Charigim and the Rock duo ness (which includes a member from Tel Aviv). But there are many others. For example, Tatran is an instrumental trio (guitar, bass and drum) with music that is sometimes explosive and other times calming.
The collection of Tel Aviv-related recommendations continues to grow, but the discovery of Cannons motivated us to perhaps prematurely put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard). Cannons recently released an eleven-track album entitled “Nothing Anywhere.” We enjoy all eleven songs and find it surprising that Cannons are allowing “name your price” downloads of the album at their Bandcamp site. The songs that we play more often are “Brains,” “Debauchery Nights” and “Weekend Getaways.”
The members of Cannons are Sagi James Shahar, Yonny Joseph, Nimrod Goldfarb and Yoav Arbel.

There is much to like about “Happiest of All Memorial Days” by Acollecitive. The energy build (crescendo) that starts at 2:48 is well executed, particularly when the horns take center stage. The vocals have an understated emotion. And the lyrics are interesting:
I want a child that never grows
And a love that'll never get too old
No slow days, there's an everchanging pulse
Busy nights, the brightest lights
You get your cake and eat it too
…
If you're still alone I'd like to come back home
The members of Acollective are Idan Rabinovici, Roy Rieck, Roy Rabinovici, Joseph E-Shine, Daniel Shoham, Emanuel Slonim and Nadav Chef Luzia.
