the first few copies come with a free poster. after many a time in the studio, under lab conditions, cornershop release their new album featuring the incredible double sugar-coated vocals of bubbley kaur. when tjinder and bubbley decided to work with each other, she had not recorded a note of music. they had met very fleetingly, years ago at a cellar gathering in preston lancashire, where tjinder and benedict studied. so it was much surprise when a taxi driver friend mentioned an asian lady that liked to sing, was the same lady that worked in a local launderette, was the same lady he had seen in a northern cellar bar. they then met a good many times at tjinder's house where they would listen to and discuss traditional punjabi folk music, and slowly bubbley came out writing her own original lyrics, which were set to a varied range of modern musics. the way tjinder and bubbley met was like a hindi movie script, and the outcome of the music is like an asian version of the kids from fame - totally upbeat, giving rise to new ways of expressing yourself.
