Cornershop and the Double-O Groove of (2011)

The last time I uniformly loved what Cornersop was up to was around 1995 when both they and I were into lo-fi indie sounds, with which they mixed in some Punjabi folk and Bollywood influence. around 1997 and ever thereafter they seemed intent on adding hip-hop and disco sounds into their repertoire, with mixed results. in 2004 they issued a two track single, Topknot/Natch, featuring an otherwise unknown singer, Bubbley Kuar. Kuar is a mother of 3 in her mid 30s that the band heard covering Hindi Folk songs. Tjinder Singh had been wanting to mix western music and Punjabi folk for years (and had been doing so for a track or two on each Cornershop record), and saw her as the key to an album length attempt.
So if you've liked Cornershop's Punjabi songs, or you dug the earlier single, here's the album that you've been waiting for; one of the best records I've heard all year-- your mileage may vary. two web-released remixes are tagged on as extra tracks.

--- Quote from: TMT ---This is not dead music, but it’s perhaps as close as you can get without passing over. It is music with palpable warmth, not nearly as cold as your average techno track. With U is about that moment just in between life and death. The characteristic chopped-up delay of this record is the sound of the heart skipping a beat, the sound of the Stillness in the Air — Between the Heaves of Storm. In that space in between death and life, in order to perceive this music of the gathering vacuum, of shrouded cadavers that are still warm to the touch, of Breaths gathering firm For that last Onset, we have to lean in close to hear, and it is with this closeness that Holy Other unites the deathbed with the dancefloor.
