Multicultural Aussie hip-hop crew Curse Ov Dialect are at once chaotic and political; their raps frenzied and abstract but not at the expense of the ever-important head-nod factor. Encompassing an unpretentious worldly vibe, they're a medium between what the Fugees and Public Enemy would sound like today if they were 20 years younger.
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 emcees 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.
