Yuval Haring (v/g): This is kind of like „the hit” in Israel. The world is well lost but let’s lie on the beach and have fun and fall in love because it doesn’t matter. We can just feel whatever we want.

Israel has been at war almost constantly since its foundation. The peace is very temporary and miraculous state in that region. The short peacetime are hot spiced with terrorist attacks. In 1991, on the occasion of Gulf War, Iraq launched 42 missiles to Israel, albeit it was not among the belligerents.

Yuval Haring (guitar/vocal): „I still remember, as a kid, sitting in our bomb shelter playing computer games while wearing a gas mask.” (Maybe was it a battle game?) „The world will end a thousand times, and we’ll still be here reading books, drinking coffee. We say, “Ze beseder” (It’s OK). That’s a very Tel Aviv sentiment. Nothing is so serious. There’s always another end after the end.” No wonder that dark visions arise.

„We don’t have basement shows like they do in the States,
because we don’t have basements. We have bomb shelters.”

Vaadat Charigim is one of the best and internationally most well-known Israeli rock bands. They have become famous with their debut album last year. It got unanimous appreciation by international music press. Even the fastidious (or snobbish) NME also gave 8 points from 10 on it.

The style is shoegaze: psychedelic, sometimes melancholic dreamy indie rock, which is hidden behind a distorted guitar curtain. And that guitar curtain is sometimes ruffled by electronic storms. The style has evolved in the British Islands in the 80s. Its greatest bands are the Scottish Jesus & Mary Chain, the Irish My Bloody Valenitne and the Ride from England. In the case of Vaadat Charigim add to this a singer/guitarist, who is blessed with voice of Morrissey and Ian Curtis (Joy Division). So it’s very English, but same time it’s 100% Israeli. And not just because the language is Hebrew. The feelings of the Israeli youth can be perfectly express with the chosen style: the desire for the peace, which is almost unnatural state in that region, where „it’s okay to be afraid.”

„Ein Nehama Ladoachim” (There is No Comfort for the Fading). „The song is kind of about growing up as a promoter in Tel Aviv and watching the scene changing and realizing it’s not the same as when I was young – but maybe it is and I’m just older and maybe I don’t know anything. I used to organize a lot of shows on rooftops and that disappeared. And we don’t have basement shows like they do in the States. because we don’t have basements. We have bomb shelters.”

The clip was shot in Tel Aviv first shopping mall, the Ditzengoff Center. Its construction began in 1972, but the mall was finished just in 1983. (Very Hungarian style pace.) In 1996, 13 people were killed there in a suicide bombing attack by a Hamas terrorist.

Vaadat Charigim is the new band of Juval from TV Buddhas. The latter is a primaeval garage rock band. The new one is a shoegaze, exactly like the title of this post with the voice of Morrissey and Ian Curtis (Joy Division). The latter statement was declared by New Musical Express. The British magazine has given 8 points from the 10 for the Israeli band’s debut album which was released by Burger Records (US). It’s about how the Israeli youth feels themselves in their homeland where the war is so natural.

Ze Beseder Lefahed  (It’s Okay To Be Afraid)

“Let’s become nothing together; let’s run away and disappear.”
– It’s a conversation between a guy and a girl.
I’ve had that kind of conflict living in Berlin — it was like leaving the real world here
in Israel and moving to a place that’s safe for young people to not do anything
or do whatever they dream. It’s kind of like disappearing, in a way.”

I thought that shoegaze is dead, and I gave thanks to God. But maybe there was a little mistake about my thanksgiving, because here is the Vaadat Charigim (id est Exemptions Committee), an Israeli shoegaze trio’s debut album. Guitar/vocal: Juval from the great primal garage rock band, TV Buddhas. (TVB Bandcamp)
