Cornershop
Label: Ample Play Records
Read Description:
An inimitable blend of British pop, funk & Punjabi folk
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 the infamous remix of “brimful Asha” by Fatboy Slim shooting to fame in the late 90’s and a Cavemen remix of “Top Knot” prompting M.I.A to add her own unique twist it’s safe to say that Cornershop are accustomed to crafting crossover tracks that incorporate a wide spectrum of styles. With their latest record "The double 'O' Grove of" however, their mission was to create a zingy fusion of disparate styles and they have succeeded with bells on so don’t be deterred by their quiet spell from the spot light. Cornershop are undoubtedly still a band to watch out for!
