"[Korwar's] roots are in Indian classical music and a love of the improvisation of jazz ... This [album] is all about the situation of Indian-rooted people in Brexit UK, crammed with local references, and hard hitting while disguised with lots of wry humour. It uses Indian instruments really creatively in among the electronics and contemporary jazz, and the (...) "MCs" are from Mumbai, Punjab and Jamaica. Nine-minute tour-de-force "Bol" kicks off with Indian harmonium and tablas, features London poet Zia Ahmed, Indian classical singer Aditya Prakash, and strays through Asian Dub Foundation territory into squally jazz qawwali while referencing all points from Brick Lane to The Clash's "Rock The Casbah". It's quite something! And following that, Ahmed shines again on "Mango"'s luscious wordplay over multi-layered percussion and gorgeous sax. And then into galloping alto sax-led Indo-jazz on "City Of Words", which doesn't have any. Brown pride indeed!".
