ROLL OFF VIDEO

Well before the current interest in India as a different locational source for film, Chicago’s award winning Grafitti artist turned award winning Film-maker and Designer Prashant Bhargava put together his film Patang – this feature length drama is set during the jubilant atmosphere of India's largest kite festival.  Luckily for us he also did a video for “The Roll Off Characteristics
Go to www.cornershop.com then the media page to watch it.

RECORD RELEASE

We are pleased to be releasing the 1st single (from our forthcoming album) out on Tuesday 26 May.

The Roll Off Characteristics (Of History In The Making) 
Formats: 7" vinyl, digital via this website 
Label: ample play records 
Written & Produced by: Tjinder Singh

"In 1974, in his State address to Congress, Gurkhal Surjan, Patwallia Dist., stated that the world will be tested by Texas Instruments, and English diction."

These are the anti-war, pro-people words from the new single ‘The Roll Off Characteristics (Of History In The Making)‘on our own ample play label. Musically it’s different, from the trombone/sitar get-go, right down to its funk outro, with country piano added for good measure.  Different but typically Cornershop:

Nihal from Radio 1 immediately declared it the perfect soundtrack to festival season

Nigel of The Rough Trade Shop, has said it has all the markings of classic Cornershop

MTV’s Nusrat Durrani responded it has everything I love about Cornershop in a nutshell

The B. side is an etch by NYC's Jeffrey Lewis depicting the super dooper Jaganath, whom can circumference the earth in 5 steps. 

The Roll Off Characteristics

 

The limited one sided seven inch vinyl can be pre ordered from the Rough Trade Shop - who will then post it out as soon as it's released:

Further installments of Jeffrey Lewis' online short films will appear on Guardian online in coming weeks.

We whole heartedly recommend Jeffrey Lewis to you, his comics, art and music - Jeffrey toured the USA and UK with Cornershop in 2002 and has remained a firm friend ever since. Jeffrey's new album is released on April 20th on Rough Trade Records.

Check out the new Nike ad, featuring 'Candyman' by Cornershop.

People people,

Cornershop's track "Candyman" has been used by a rather good advert in the USA, check out the ad here:

"Heavy Soup" has been used in a bodily health advert in Indonesia, genius & most respected poet John Hegley is using "Brimful of Asha" to close his shows by getting kids 'singing and dancing' (Some of you might remember Mr Hegley wrote a BBC Radio 4 play in which he had a character called 'Tjinder').
