Hailing from Tel Aviv, the Churchills blended Anglo-American Psychedelia with Middle Eastern motifs. The band was in fact a cosmopolitan collective: vocalist Stan Solomon was Canadian, guitarist Robb Huxley came from England, while the rest of the group—Haim Romano on guitar and mandolin, Michael ‘Miki’ Gavrielov on bass, and Ami Trebich on drums—were all from Israel.
Released in 1969, “Churchills” can be considered the first truly Psychedelic Rock album produced and released in Israel during the 1960s. At a time when Israeli music was dominated by Folk and Pop, the Churchills’ English-language, fuzz-drenched, mind-bending sound and studio experimentation was wildly ahead of its time.
Impossible to find in its original form, we’re proud to present a new vinyl reissue of such legendary album.
