Handcream for a Generation

Cornershop

A sprawling, kaleidoscopic collage of Punjabi rock, disco house, and glam-inflected indie. Dense with samples and effortlessly cool.

Find on Amazon

It's like a psychedelic block party where Bollywood samples and disco beats have a very cool conversation.

A joyful, sprawling celebration of cultural fusion with a sharp, satirical edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from soul-funk horns to a scratching hip-hop break in the opening track.
The fourteen-minute hypnotic sprawl of 'Spectral Mornings' where sitar drones dissolve into psychedelic bliss.
The way the disco beat kicks in on 'Music Plus 1' sounding like a lost Daft Punk remix from London.
