This is the first album to bear the name of a young woman called Chloe who, while establishing herself on the European electronic scene with DJing and ‘Erosoft’ debut on Karat, also studies at the Academy Of Music in Paris and writes soundtracks for contemporary dance. It’s quite remarkable, standing out from the welter of electronic album attempts with its simplicity, fragility and often-stunning originality. Tracks like ‘I Want You’ create a whispery, micro-tech everglade of their own but ‘It’s Sunday’ plants sexy vocals over guitar and climactic atmospherics. There is a real tension underneath the beauty which can’t help magnetising the listener like some kind of gently, sensual sonic whirlpool although ‘No One Can Be’ packs a contagiously pulsing groove. ‘Womb To Womb’ is a subterranean bubbler coming as a necessary massage after the soaringly emotional peaks which have just gone before. I could go on. Just to say this is a very special album and an amazing debut in anyone’s books.
