It’s known for making submarines. So how does this remote Cumbrian venue attract the world’s boldest musicians? In a park keeper’s lodge in Barrow-in-Furness, Full of Noises has hosted the likes of Julia Holter and Lonnie Holley – and is a model for why arts funding matters

FORGOTTEN GEMS continues, we recommend listening to brilliant albums which seem to have been forgotten.

#14 is from CLOR self titled debut (and only) album released in July 2005.

NME gave it 8/10 and Pitchfork gave it 8.2/10 so give this album a listen as one of my favourites from the 00s.
