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. |

| If being the first Australian Hip-hop group to get stateside distribution wasn’t impressive enough, COD was signed to indie-hop bastion Mush on the personal recommendation of Doseone, which is a good indication of their steelo. In both rapping and production their multicultural mishmash is more reigned and tighter compared to their 2003 debut Lost In The Real Sky, but they still sound like The Avlanches tearing though a world music fare (Thankfully, their secret weapon Vulk Makedonski still hasn’t returned to earth!). The biggest shock is that the second half plays with shade and texture, revealing subtlety to be one of their strengths, possibly the only thing not sampled on their debut. Clever, but not pretentious, funky, but not frivolous - Melbourn’s finest are one of the best Hip-hop groups in the world who have delivered one of this years best; crank it up and dance around with your undies on your head! - Beat |
