Originally hailing from Australia's Blue Mountains, but now residing in the UK, Cloud Control - Alister Wright, Heidi Lenffer, Ulrich Lenffer and Jeremy Kelshaw - released their debut album Bliss Release in the UK in May 2011 to critical acclaim, including 4* reviews in Q, The Times and The Guardian. The album won the Australian Music Prize, the antipodean equivalent of the Mercury Prize, and the band spent countless hours in the tour van notching up over four hundred gigs across the globe including support slots with Vampire Weekend, Weezer and Arcade Fire. Whereas their debut was mostly recorded at home (laid to tape in Jeremy's parent's living room), Dream Cave was recorded in two months in a residential studio in Kent with Barny Barnicott (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys). The album is the result of a hard British winter, a dank Hackney rehearsal space, of a siege mentality on a French party island, of the Big O spending two decades alone underground and the greatest tour bus soundtrack of all time. It's testament to the magic that happens when Cloud Control play together, their music is more than its' influences - both musical and non - to create something unique.
Following the September release of Dream Cave, Cloud Control embarked on a sold out headline tour of the UK, and are currently on the road with Infectious Music labelmates Local Natives in the UK and Europe for October-November:
