The undisputed champions of middle eastern psych rock return with Dalya, their epic fifth studio album.

Suspiciously smelling like a mix of prohibited substances and powerful homebrewed potions, Dalya manages to effortlessly be a lot of things that, in a similar universe, contradict each other: it is psychedelic but accessible. It is adventurous and creatively free spirited, but also filled with anthems waiting to be discovered.  The sound is recognizable, but simultaneously original and an expansion of the band’s wide creative palette.

Dalya consists of 6 long, swirling, hallucination-inducing doses of music to be consumed with your eyes wide shut. But make no mistake - this is still Ouzo Bazooka’s good ol’ sweaty oriental fuzz party. Monsters, the album’s opener, has the anthemic qualities one would secretly hope to find on an Ouzo Bazooka album. It is followed by the sunstroked dubby and dare we say disco-ish Million Years Of Light, continues with the dense and sweaty instrumental pieces Al Hagamal and Kruv and continues to ascend with It’s A Menace towards the spectacular climax that is Nine.  

Filled with imaginative, mind bending moments, Dalya is yet another monument in Ouzo Bazooka’s epic sonic journey and a grand new chapter in the band’s story.

Untried Ways

Lyrics:

By this you will know 
That I am The Lord
With a staff in my hands 
I will strike the water of the Nile 
And it'll be changed into
Blood 
Boils
Fire and thunderstorms
Hail and 
Locusts and 
Darkness for three days 
Signs and 
Marvels and 
Rivers turn to blood
Pestilence 
Frogs and 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
I'm living in the crystal night again
Send us a package from a friend
Tell us about democracy
Do it yourself
Pray for us now
Give us the power
Nobody gets hurt 
Let me send you a lemon battery
Too cold to bear 
Put down the gun 

The Nile will teem with frogs
Up to your palace and 
Into your bedroom and 
Onto your bed 
Earthquake 
Famine
Scorch the planet with fire 
Starvation Pestilence and 
Killing of the firstborn son

Living in black and white again 
Made it to the station in Dresden
Have you ever heard of a hamburger
Joseph Buys is not my friend
Living on a lemon battery 
I'm filling up the holes with 
Fat and grease 
Writing on the chalkboard's wet and cold
Too cold to bare 
Put down the gun 

How long will you refuse 
To humble yourself 
Before me

About midnight 
I will go through Egypt 
With the staff in my hand 
I will strike 
Mark the lamb's blood 
Above your door 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
Lighting all the candles for my friends
Wake up and you take off all your clothes
Look at all the naked people go
Living in black and white again
How much longer Mother 
Til the end 
Can you see the freedom
that heaven sent 
I can see the old guarding station
