Opening with all their instruments playing in unison, Clor state their intent. Things could go very badly after the huge 15 second opening, but luckily the drum machine kicks in and all is fine. They aren't a cock rock group in disguise after all. Clor however are a great, funky, retro inspired, fun group. After the over the top introduction, the opening four tracks state out their aims to make our indie venues a place to dance again. Opening Track, Good Stuff, has a fantastic bouncy bassline, and we are also introduced to the crawling guitar solos that are a key feature of Clor's sound.

The second track, Outlines, introduces another key idea behind Clor. They somehow manage to play at least three different songs in the space of one track, but it is so cleverly crafted that they all work together. While the guitar seems to be playing a line of its own, the verses and chorus are doing different things too. But if you need any specific song to find out about the world of Clor, then Love + Pain is the track, in which Clor writes a perfect 3 minute pop song. The guitar and bass lines fighting over each other, but still managing to create a song that holds together. The fourth track features that last key to the Clor sound, songs that sound quite atonal, but still manages to sound great and dancable thanks to a great bassline. Hearts on Fire sounds like the sort of thing that could have been incidental music for 70s TV shows.

After all that rocking there's also time for some relaxation, in Gifted, before back to that Clor trademark guitar vs bass vs vocals atonal battling, in tracks like Making You All Mine and Garden of Love. Usually when there isn't a melody, there is the danger that it sounds more like someone singing in the shower than performing a song. However for Clor, they repeat their atonal phrases to use them as a hook, just like how Kraftwerk used repeating lines of melodies throughout their songs.

There's also town to get down and funky in Magic Touch, a track that is so simple and bass driven that it is impossible not to dance along to it. There hasn't been a band in recent times to make funk sound so good.

The variety in this album, and the fact that the band are not afraid to go beyond the traditions of straightforward song writing, means that this is a great debut, and something that will be even more rewarding after repeated listenings.
