Cornershop

Cornershop are a British indie rock band formed in 1991 and led by Tjinder Singh, known for blending Indian instrumentation with indie/Britpop styles and for the 1997 hit "Brimful of Asha."

The band's 1997 album When I Was Born for the 7th Time and the single "Brimful of Asha" (remixed by Norman Cook / Fatboy Slim) are repeatedly mentioned in the reviews. Handcream for a Generation (2002) is also reviewed and described as retro, witty and energetic. Reviews emphasize use of sitar and Indian/Eastern sounds fused with Western pop and dub influences.
