TootArd are a young, trailblazing ensemble from the occupied Golan Heights who deftly fuse Levant-tinted desert blues, melodic psych-rock, morphed reggae and classical Arabic modalities. Their second album Laissez Passer, is their debut international release and one of the first such releases from their homeland. At the end of August the band begins a <b>UK tour<b/> that includes club performances in London and festival appearances at End of the Road and others. Restless, buoyant and eclectic. An exciting new musical voice from the Middle East.
