Music review: Amor
A new quartet with an illustrious pedigree, Glasgow’s Amor are an odd proposition on paper; a party-ready disco band comprising one avant-garde musician and songwriter (Richard Youngs), one Turner Prize-nominated artist (Luke Fowler), a Norwegian minimalist composer (Michael Francis Duch) and the drummer from Franz Ferdinand (Paul Thomson). Their music is light and accessible, but the richness of their cultural reference points shouldn’t be underestimated; it clearly wasn’t by the educated throng bustling around Mono’s low stage at this label show for Night School Records.
