MH-246 Curse Ov Dialect - Wooden Tongues  Two years in the making, Curse Ov Dialect return with Wooden Tongues, the follow up to their critically lauded debut Lost In The Real Sky. The matchless vocals of MCs Raceless, Vulk Makedonski, Aturungi, and August 2 are suplimented by the meticulous cuts of DJ Paso Bionic, and their collaborative production efforts utilize samples culled from nearly all members of the United Nations. The album's themes focus on politics, multiculturalism and their recent life experiences. With Wooden Tongues, Curse Ov Dialect have tamed their personal energy and recorded a cohesive group of tracks, while maintaining their sprawling debut's vital excitement and passion. |

| Sine The Avalanches crossed the turntablist line, Curse ov Dialect are probably the most successful hip-hop act to come out of Australia. While the unnaming, political backpacker lyrics of Raceless, Vulk Makedonski, August 2, and Atarungi don’t exactly place them at the head of their field, their collaborative production work with beatsmith Paso Bionic – whose solo debut was released by Elefant Traks early last year – puts the Melbourne collective squarely in the upper echelon of indie hip-hop worldwide. The variety of sounds used to make their beats borders on insane genius: “Burn Me Slowly” gives a post-rock beat a twist of violins; “Take Me To The Arab World” mashes the Middle East; and “Jokes On Me” brings hip-hop some opera with slight tastes of Asia and Looney Tunes. - Tiny Mix Tapes |
