Urban Turban: The Singhles Club

Cornershop

A kaleidoscopic collage of Bollywood samples, deadpan Britpop, and French-touch house. Playful, collaborative, and stubbornly independent.

A whimsical and rhythmically infectious celebration of global sounds and dry British wit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic vocal interplay between Soko and the Lou Reed-inspired guitar chug on Something Makes You Feel Like.
The surreal spoken-word inventory of a hippie's bag over a bouncy, rubbery bassline.
The transition into the shimmering, extended disco groove of Non-Stop Radio.
