Aurora Gory Alice is the first studio album by Letters to Cleo.

[5] The first single from the album was "I See," which got little exposure (although it was later used as the music that plays during the closing credits of Daria episode "Through a Lens Darkly").

However, the second single, "Here & Now", received much exposure when it was featured on the Melrose Place soundtrack a year later.

A demo version of "I See" is available on the 1998 compilation release, Sister, with Abe Laboriel, Jr. on drums.

Trouser Press wrote that "the record’s airy sonics, Kay Hanley’s soaring vocals and the band’s smart pop-rock songwriting make for a solid, if not especially challenging, effort.
