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.
