Clor were a five-piece post-punk/electropop band from Brixton, England. Their breakthrough came with the release of their self-titled first album, released in 2005 to great critical acclaim. Their music is angular in melody and jerky in rhythm, and is often compared to Devo and Gary Numan. In the UK they are signed to Parlophone.

The band split up in May 2006, their manager stating that the future paths of Dobbin and Smith were unclear, though would likely involve musical pursuits. Luke Smith has since produced Shitdisco's album, Kingdom of Fear (released April 2007) and some remixes for the band, and is rumoured to be working with electro indie band To My Boy. Smith has produced an EP with frYars and is currently producing new material with him. Barry Dobbin has since started a solo project called Barringtone.
