How the Music Critic Score works
Proving there is sentient life between the two dominant tropes in current British pop - Britpop revivalism and Coldplayalikes - Clor are both deliciously off-kilter and entirely capable of taking on the charts. Their debut is a frequently dizzying genre pile-up which shouldn't work but does. You might say Clor are the anti-Oasis, in fact, since, instead of extrapolating an entire career from the least interesting bits of one or two horribly obvious things, they have instead put the last 30 years of popular music in a blender and produced something quite intoxicating.
