Our Take

CORNERSHOP's latest offering, "England Is A Garden," is a vibrant kaleidoscope of musical influences that perfectly encapsulates the band's unique sound. Drawing on their South Asian roots and their love for British indie rock, CORNERSHOP has crafted an album that is as eclectic as it is catchy.

From the infectious hooks of "St. Marie Under Canon" to the dreamy vibes of "Slingshot," each track on "England Is A Garden" is a delightful surprise. The band effortlessly blends elements of psych-rock, folk, and electronica to create a sound that is undoubtedly their own.

But what truly sets CORNERSHOP apart is their witty, socially-conscious lyrics. Songs like "No Rock: Save in Roll" and "The Cash Money" tackle pressing issues like climate change and economic inequality, all while keeping the listener hooked with their infectious melodies.

And let's not forget the production on this album - it's top-notch. The lush harmonies, intricate arrangements, and unexpected sonic twists make "England Is A Garden" a joy to listen to from start to finish.

In conclusion, CORNERSHOP has once again proven why they are legends in the indie music scene. "England Is A Garden" is a triumph of creativity and a testament to the band's enduring talent. Spin this album and let yourself be transported to a musical paradise where the sun always shines and the tunes never stop.
