Cornershop - Urban Turban: The Singhles Club - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2009 , the fifth album from the Alt-Rockers led by Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayers. Perhaps best known for their 1997 single 'Brimful of Asha' - which was propelled to the UK #1 slot by remixer Fatboy Slim - this studio album comes some seven years after 2002's Handcream for a Generation. With a renewed energy, Singh and Ayers deliver an album of boundary crossing Indie Pop, taking in everything from Psychedelic Rock through to Punjabi Folk while managing to maintain their ability to write the perfect feel-good Pop song. Ample Play.

After touring on the back of their twisted non-retrospective InchPunk RockInch in 2004, The Mekons picked up their instruments and lost themselves far beyond the beaten path in the wilds of the English countryside. Removed from the restraints of conventional studio technology, they navigate an undulating sonic landscape of lavish melodies, mantric chants, and shimmering acoustic experimentation. This is their first new material in five years since 2002's critically acclaimed InchOOOH!Inch Look for them on tour this fall.
