Clor, sprang out of the chaotic and often brilliant Club Clor in Brixton, where they played host to the nascent careers of Tom Vek, The Rakes, The Research, Envelopes, Young Knives, Maximo Park, Shit Disco and, sadly, Hard-fi. Wisely, however, they turned down the Kaiser Chiefs. On their way they also did remixes for the Prodigy, the Envelopes, Le Tigre, Tom Vek, Shit Disco and someone else I can¹t remember right now.They self-titled, self-produced debut album was met with a mixture of plaudits and bemusement when it emerged last summer, but, as people got acclimatised to its strange new energy, became a strong cult classic, particularly among fellow musicians, and spawned the spazzy dancing freak hit-let, 'Love and Pain'.Again, this is a guitar band you can dance too....So, it is poignant that, as they split, Clor's star is arguably at its zenith, with Clor about to be released in America and their future work eagerly anticipated by anyone with a keen interest in new music. Still, they leave a jewel of album for future generations to discover among the land-fill and rock detritus of so many of their peers.Clor 2
