mining the spirit of '70's p-funk and psyche soul mixed with a hint of new electro, twisted tongue represents a carnival of production excellence from creative partnership dave jay and mark dalton. dave jay featured as session musician and remixer for a host of major label artists, signed to madonna's maverick records as a member of soul hooligan, and has contributed vocals to andy lewis' first two albums for acid jazz. twisted tongue marks a return to their musical roots; visiting the funk and soul experimentation of funkadelic and charles stepney; drawing on the influence of '80's electrofunk and the minneapolis sound of morris day and the time. post-millennial soul, retro breaks and electro clash, sensual strings and filthy groove all showcase the modern diversity of this killer album - all topped off with catchy-as-hell single 'got a really good thing', classic soul with the hyperactive gospel styling of andre 3000 or dangermouse. all delivered in distinctly modern production techniques to create a style that sits halfway between pigeonhed and gnarls barkley.
