Cornershop are a British indie rock band best known for their single "Brimful of Asha", originally released in 1997 and, in a remixed version, topping the UK chart in 1998.

Between mid-2000 and June 2001, Cornershop recorded their next album at West Orange Studios in Pretson and Eastcote Studios in Ladbroke Grove with Singh as the producer and Rob Swift co-producing two of the songs.

I didn't stop working but the climate didn't seem very fertile for what we were doing. It was really a case of waiting for a time when it was more receptive." The band also made a film in that time, which has yet to be released, and set up their own Ample Play record label. The band released the album independently through their website and in local shops.
