Album Review: Cornershop - Cornershop & the Double 'O' Groove Of

English rockers Cornershop have been going strong for close to twenty years now, and with their seventh release they don't give any indication that they have plans to slow down. After collaborating from artists ranging from poet Alan Ginsberg to Oasis' Noam Gallagher, it's easy to wonder where a band will go next. On their latest release, Cornershop & the Double 'O' Groove Of, Cornershop continues to bend musical boundaries and blend genres to create a unique and intriguing, if not impossible to understand, record.

Though the album has its definite hip-hop influences, it would be a mistake to pigeonhole it as such. It's really difficult to give this album any sort of concrete description — which is part of what makes it so enjoyable.

Cornershop announces fall dates, coming to Carrboro

The British lads Cornershop, best known for their unlikely 1997 hit single "Brimful of Asha," released a new album titled Judy Sucks a Lemon for Breakfast in 2009. The band will hit the road for a U.S. tour this fall in support of the release.

[UPDATE: The entire U.S. tour has been canceled including the Cat's Cradle date. The band's statement makes it sound like a business decision stating that the tour is postponed until next year when their new album will be out.]

The tour will stop at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro on Sunday, Nov. 21. Tickets for the show are on sale now for $16 via etix.

Check out the music video for the infectiously groovy song "Soul School" from their newest album below, where you'll also find the band's tour schedule.
