In the Days of Ford Cortina

Four tracks of abrasive, tape-hissed noise rock and political punk. A gritty, low-fidelity document of British Asian identity before the band found their pop groove.

It's Cornershop before they were famous, sounding like they're playing through a broken radio in a rainstorm.

A gritty, restless energy that feels like a cold urban evening in the early 90s.

Hanif Kureishi Scene
Moments Worth Waiting For
The abrasive wall of guitar noise that opens Waterlogged, establishing a sound far removed from their later pop polish.
The rhythmic, repetitive sitar line in Kawasaki fighting for space against a jagged, overdriven bass riff.
The sudden, jarring silence at the end of Hanif Kureishi Scene that leaves the listener in a vacuum of tape hiss.
