	Metroactive Music \| Cornershop
		This year, the band of note is Cornershop, a folky-trippy English dance group led by Indian DJ and singer Tjinder Singh.
		CORNERSHOP'S sound could be termed "supercanned," i.e., the kind of cheesy lo-fi sonics that splice the warm old buzz of '50s vinyl records with newer sound techniques.
		Cornershop isn't a bad band, and in fact, judging by "Brimful of Asha," it has a lot of promise.

	WW Rock Preview: Cornershop - Nov. 5, '97 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		More importantly, his band Cornershop, one of the most inventive, original and important rock bands in the world, is broke.
		Cornershop then jumped from the Superchunk-owned label Merge to David Byrne's Luaka Bop, issuing the innovative Woman's Gotta Have It, which hopscotched from melodic, guitar-driven indie rock to tabla and sitar meditations to funky grooves overlaid with Punjabi vocals.
		One unexpected collaboration occurred when Cornershop's note-perfect rendition of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" met with opposition from the owners of the song's publishing rights, who disliked the only adjustment Singh made to the sitar-tinged tune: He sang it in Punjabi.

	Thoughts on Cornershop Amardeep Singh Hybridity Punjabi Sikh
		Though I'm enthusiastic about Cornershop, I've always had the nagging feeling they are a novelty act: that is, they use lead singer Tjinder Singh's difference as an Indian as a gimmick to distinguish themselves from scores of other retro indie-rock bands.
		For me then, Cornershop's hybridity problem is really about Tjinder's vocals, specifically the rock songs where he sings in Punjabi over the guitars, and the English-language songs where he references immigrant life and racial stereotypes.
		So while I would insist that Cornershop is not a 'political' band just by virtue of some essentialist politics of representation (i.e., just because he is a brown-skinned lead singer with a strange-looking Sikh name), Cornershop's English songs show there can be politics even in postmodernist play.

	BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - Cornershop
		The track was a tribute to Indian singer Asha Bhosle and, with a remix from Norman Cook and a hook advocating some rather uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, went to No.1 in the UK charts.
		Cornershop, however, were happier away from the limelight.
		During Morrissey's somewhat suspect flirtation with mod and skinhead imagery Cornershop burned pictures of the singer at gigs and outside the offices of his record label.

	Cornershop: Handcream for a Generation: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		That Cornershop would be the band to take this "It's a Small World" approach is no big surprise, given the poly-ethnic nature of their previous records for David Byrne's Luaka Bop imprint.
		Changing outfits as often as a runway model, Cornershop jumps from soul-funk roll call intro to children's choir-accompanied synth-rock to glowstick-waving house to organ-loop hip-hop to Jamaican reggae dub, and that's only counting up to the halfway point.
		While these tracks are indicative of Cornershop's ability to enjoyably replicate different eras of nightclub music, one often gets the feeling that the band's just trying on costumes without much in the way of original modifications.

	MUTINY ::: Musicians ::: Cornershop
		Formed in the early 1990's around the core creative partnership of Tjinder Singh and Ben Ayres, Cornershop have been forging their own unique and innovative musical path for over a decade.
		Their instrumentation is just as diverse, bringing together guitars, sitar, tambura, drum kit, dholki, congas, moog synthesizer, loops and samples, and English and Punjabi lyrics.
		Cornershop hit Number 1 on the British Pop charts in early 1998 with Norman Cook's remix of "Brimful of Asha", a quietly subversive track that filled British airwaves with a volley of names and references that were simultaneously — and defiantly — both Asian and British.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Music \| Cornershop
		Around 1994 Cornershop released a track called Born Disco and Died Heavy Metal which could accurately describe their new album Handcream For A Generation.
		Tjinder Singh seems to be pulling Cornershop in the direction of every musical genre he can think of, creating a CD full of cool tunes but ultimately schizophrenic and disorientating.
		One minute Cornershop are heading for the dancefloor with Music Plus 1, a track most DJs would be happy to pull out of their record bag, the next Tjinder thinks he's Marc Bolan with a trip down memory lane for the authentically 1970s sounding Lessons Learned From Rocky I to III.

	The Songs of Cornershop (U.K.)
		Cornershop's last album, When I Was Born For The 7th Time, was released in the summer of '97 and swept all prior albums.
		Praised by critics and the listening public alike, it topped polls and warmed hearts all over the world with its winning and entirely original blend of beat, melodic charm, infectious good humor and inventive range of musical moods.
		In 2001, recording commenced on the eagerly-awaited new Cornershop material.

	TrouserPress.com :: Cornershop
		Cornershop tried a third option, recording the follow-up to Born for the Seventh Time under the name Clinton.
		Clinton is more beat and dance-oriented than Cornershop, and a few of the tracks run out of inspiration long before they end, but this decent work allowed Cornershop to try something different without risking their credibility.
		Unfortunately, the next proper Cornershop album, Handcream for a Generation, feels more like a sequel to Disco than to Born for the Seventh Time, and a very bad one at that.

	Cornershop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This album inspired the launch of the London based clubnight called Buttoned down disco, which took its name from the third track on the album.

		Cornershop, as they demonstrated on 1997's 'When I Was Born for the 7th Time', are quite happy to experiment with their sound- taking on electic stylings uncommon to the majority of British music.
		Cornershop have more in common with such eclectic souls as AR Kane, The Clash around 'Sandinista', The Specials 2nd album & artists like Kid Loco & Radio 4.
		Cornershop are so distinctive and so bright with inspiration I can't imagine liking one album and not the other.

	Cornershop: Handcream for a Generation - PopMatters Music Review
		It had long Indian-flavored jams and shorter deceptively-simple rockish songs, it showed Singh to be a wordsmith of great talent and an effective (if limited) singer, and it flew in the face of all that was Britpop while still being at its core very British.
		Their album, Disco and the Halfway to Discontent, was one of 2000's main head-scratchers, a boogie-oogie-oogie record that was supposed to lead us all into the radical/humanist promised land by freeing our asses and minds.
		Since it's not very cool to have 14-minute guitar/sitar jams, that's exactly what Cornershop delivers with "Spectral Mornings." Interestingly, one of the guitarists on this track is Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who contributes his less-is-more-or-at-least-you-better-hope-so- cause-less-is-all-you're-gonna-get-and-it's-pub-time ham-fisted power chords in the right speaker.

	LuaKa BoP: Cornershop Artist Info
		With When I Was Born For The 7th Time, their stunning new CD release on Luaka Bop/Warner Bros. Records, Cornershop raises the stakes higher with an album that finds them at the peak of their continent-spanning sound.
		Of course, Cornershop has been something of a staple in the British cultural melting pot ever since the release of their back-to-back hit singles, “In The Days Of Ford Cortina” and “Lock, Stock And Double Barrel,” from the now classic Hold On It Hurts.
		Cornershop’s tour of festivals has continued with Roskilde in Copenhagen (June ’97), plus the Phoenix Festival (July ’97) and the Reading Festival (August ’97), both in England.

		When I Was Born for the 7th Time is a remarkable leap forward for Cornershop, the place where the group blends all of their diverse influences into a seamless whole.
		Cornershop uses Indian music as a foundation, finding its droning repetition similar to the trancier elements of electronica, the cut-and-paste collages of hip-hop, and the skeletal melodicism of indie pop.
		Tjinder Singh's Cornershop has created the perfect hybrid of Western indie rock and swirling Eastern traditional music: Hindi-pop.

	Clinton: Disco and the Halfway to Discontent - PopMatters Music Review
		Cornershop's stew of Asian folk, British pop and electronica charmed the pants off critics and record buyers alike on 1997's When I Was Born for the 7th Time.
		Thing is they're not going for dance floor fodder ala The Bee Gees, but rather attempt to appropriate the political context of minority rights and power issues of the very early disco and funk of James Brown and George Clinton (ah...so that's where they got the name, not from our infamous president).
		Cornershop's repetitive song structures were ideal for the pop/folk/electronica combination when there was richer instrumentation to fill out the sound, but the stripped-down approach only exposes the fault lines of this material, which despite the uniform lyrical excellence, are missing a musical heart and soul.

	Cornershop
		The quantum leap of sound and songwriting that Cornershop navigated on their third album, When I Was Born For The 7th Time, has brought them the attention of a new, wider audience and further endeared them to the loyal few who discovered their 1993 debut and their last LP, Woman's Gotta Have It.
		Each Cornershop record has been more enjoyable than the last, while also being more experimental in form and content.
		When he responded to my question as to when Cornershop would tour the East Coast again by informing me that they would be supporting Oasis he sensed my shock, the result of having read an old interview with Singh just before picking up the phone to call him.

	Cornershop - Handcream For A Generation : album review
		It's been five years since Cornershop caught the music world completely off guard with When I Was Born for the 7th Time.
		Whilst being no great departure from the eclectic stew of When I Was Born..., Handcream for a Generation takes the blueprint laid down there and expands on it.
		From the loose-limbed funk of opener Heavy Soup to the lo-fi glitter stomp of Music Plus One, via roots reggae, the more traditional indie jangler, and turntable and sample heavy numbers, this is a truly eclectic album.
