Read Description:

Soulful eccentricity, electronic pop vibes and easy listening. 

Cornershop’s 20 year career has seen them take a winding path that has crossed the genres of Britpop, country, dance and Punjabi folk, crafting an experimental sound that is at once idiosyncratic and capricious but also clearly theirs.

With Urban Turban, Cornershop continue with their welcome and unexpectedly prolific return to the record racks. This latest album features a fresh batch of collaborative singles, each just as intelligent and playful as the next. The first stand out track, Non-Stop Radio, is an electro-funk piece of deliciousness, with a simplistic groove and bass line layered with cheeky French lyrics. Next in line is Solid Gold, a pulsating cohesion of proudly retro funk and soulful eccentricity while Concrete Concrete’s Hammond-keyed stomp is as raw and infectious as a Sixties soul shakedown. A fantastic album of experimental funk-folk-hip-hop fusion with electronic vibes that pushes every boundary imaginable.
