Misitunes Germany Vinilo y CD

Review: Hot on the heels of the release of their new album, Dubbies On Top, The Kings of Dub Rock - a freewheeling digi-dub trio founded by German actor-turned-singer-and-musician Jacques Palminger - has decided to deliver a fresh pressing of their 2008 debut album, Mondo Cherry. It's an unusual but highly entertaining affair, with Palminger alternating between tongue-in-cheek comedy monologues and Chanson-style singing (both in his native German, of course) atop quirky dub-wise riddims which make extensive use of lo-fi synths, squelchy electronic basslines and eccentric musical flourishes. Highlights are plentiful, with our picks including 'Playboy', the deliciously percussive, handclap-heavy 'Kolany' (a kind of Afro-Latin-Digi-Dub treat) and the shuffling, children's choir-sporting 'Tudeldub'.
