49. CORNERSHOP - CORNERSHOP & THE DOUBLE-O GROOVE OFCornershop have been around for 20 years now and this is their sixth album. While thev've experimented with funk, rock and mostly pop in their career, this album refreshingly gets back to their Punjabi roots and is playful in nature. Can we call it Indian indie?
It's highly danceable and it chops and changes enough to keep the listener entertained for the course of the 40 minutes. When it comes to things like Bollywood films and music, I like the initial shtick of telling an epic story through just a few minutes, complete with jaw-dropping costumes, but it loses its vitality after about half an hour as it's just too cheesy.
Whatever. Here though, it all sounds vital, as there's no dancing, cricket or Darjeeling tea there to distract me.
