Cloud Control Sign to US label Turnout Records + Touring Europe/UK With The Drums

To say Cloud Control has had a busy year would be quite the understatement.

The band released its debut album BLISS RELEASE in the UK and Europe in May to much critical acclaim, took out the coveted Australian Music Prize, played Reading, Leeds, SXSW, Latitude, Field Day and Splendour in the Grass festivals, played headline shows throughout UK, Europe and the US, toured in support of the likes of Arcade Fire, Supergrass, Local Natives and Vampire Weekend and have now officially penned a deal with US Label TURNOUT – home to Brooklyn buzz band ‘We Are Augustines’, making them the second official signing to the boutique indie label (through Atlantic/Warner).

After its release in the UK/Europe earlier this year on independent label Infectious, BLISS RELEASE has received a wealth of praise amongst industry and audiences alike, with glowing 4 star reviews in  the Guardian, Times, Independent & Q Magazie. CLOUD CONTROL has also been announced as one of the most played acts on BBC6 in 2011.

CLOUD CONTROL will join the THE DRUMS on their month long tour in Europe / UK before winding up the year back in Oz for Woodford, Pyramid Rock, Field Day and Launched Festival over NYE.

The band will be heading back into the studio in early 2012 to finish writing and begin recording their follow up LP.

Before then, the band will be spending the summer playing some of Europe’s premier festivals, including Latitude, Hop Farm, Field Day and a just-confirmed slot at the Reading and Leeds festivals.

Cloud Control last night launched The Aviary, a weekly residency at the Social, London for June-July, with performances from like-minded souls such as Cymbals, Big Deal, Alpines and Dry the River. The Aviary will runs for three more weeks, and each night will be programmed in collaboration with some of the hottest promoters of the moment. More details are available at www.cloudcontrolband.com.

The band released Bliss Release in the UK in May to critical acclaim, including 4* reviews in Q, The Times and The Guardian. Concocted between the rocky outcrop of the Blue Mountains and the hard place that is Sydney’s former Red Light District, Bliss Release is harmonic pop as eccentric as David Byrne and as modishly psychedelic as early Jefferson Airplane, swathed in layers of analogue reverb and with an outlook of an epic vastness. The album recently won the Australian Music Prize, the antipodean equivalent of the Mercury Prize; it has been bolstered for its UK release, with reworked and new tracks.

Cloud Control Headline My Fear Tour in March

Due to overwhelming demand Cloud Control will be taking time off from their busy Euro schedule to play a couple of shows on home turf. After a stellar year, releasing their debut album, playing to packed out crowds nationwide and taking home a slew of awards, Cloud Control will play what could possibly be their final Oz shows for the year. With Jinja Safari and Fishing along for the ride, it’s set to be a cracker!
