Cornershop When I Was Born For The 7th

For all the talk of this record's blend of South Asian and northern English pop sounds, the music here sounds neither daringly cross-pollinated nor strangely juxtaposed. Rather it sounds like a rather conventional pop record, one that harkens back to the days when pop didn't have to be sonically conservative and genrespecific. Cornershop's willingness to make a pop record, rather than its desire to reconcile its leader's British and Indian heritage, is what makes this a great breakthrough album. --Roni Sarig
