"A collaboration with Punjabi singer Bubbley Kaur, Double-O finds Cornershop again ditching their more ramshackle qualities and settling confidently into a groove, exploring familiar sounds with a low-key confidence. The album betrays a whiff of 90s multiculturalism, trip-hop, and Britpop, oddly at a time when some of those sounds are returning to favor. It also feels nicely out of fashion, carried along by a collection of understated melodies and earworms. The almost casual charm and old-fashioned entertainment feel of the record is reminiscent of Harry Nilsson. Ayres and Singh were always versatile players, but their genre experiments tended to be underlined and bolded. Here, however, the two more delicately fold jazz, funk, and hip-hop into their central sonic idea, Punjabi giddha music."
