    Urban Turban feels especially emblematic of a band that's fully liberated itself from any commercial or audience expectations and shifted its experimental ethos into overdrive.

    Mostly, it's funky pop, half-deconstructed and relentlessly optimistic. [Jun 2012, p.71

    Cornershop have stocked up on musical friends and touchpoints to deliver a heterogeneous album that confirms, wherever they go next, there's plenty more in the 'Shop window to see.

    Some tracks are enjoyable, but the overall sound of the album is just tasteless.
