Curse ov Dialect

One of our readers, Kabus Kerim sent us a recommendation of this Australian hiphop troupe called Curse ov Dialect. It’s not surprising that the music is a chaotic mash pot of different cultural influences, what would a Maltese, a Macedonian, an Anglo-Indian, a Maori, and a Pakistani living in Australia have in common other than a postmodern aesthetic and a whole lot of energy, which the band is well-known for.

While it’s always great to hear different ideas and musical backgrounds in hiphop, too much might end up cacophonous, like it does sometimes in CoD’s music. It’s not as refined as say the excellent Onra album of last year. On some songs there’s simply too much unrelated things going on yet they have shown constant improvement in three albums and the third Wooden Tongues has less flaws. Hopefully their new album in the works right now will be even better!.
