Cloud Control Announce New Album And UK Tour Dates

Cloud Control have announced a UK and European tour to mark the forthcoming release of their second album 'Dream Cave', due out in the UK on September 16 via Infectious Music.
Originally hailing from Australia’s Blue Mountains, but now residing in the UK, Cloud Control - Alister Wright, Heidi Lenffer, Ulrich Lenffer and Jeremy Kelshaw - are applying last minute magic to the follow up to 2010’s 'Bliss Release' (released in the UK in May 2011). The album won the Australian Music Prize, the antipodean equivalent of the Mercury Prize, and the band spent countless hours in the backs of vans and tour buses notching up over four hundred gigs across the globe including support slots with Vampire Weekend, Weezer and Arcade Fire.
Whereas their debut was ostensibly a home recording (laid to tape in Jeremy’s parent’s living room), for 'Dream Cave' Cloud Control decamped to the Kent countryside with producer and mix engineer Barny Barnicott (whose credits include work with Arctic Monkeys, Plan B, Peace and Franz Ferdinand) to capture something unique – an addictive swirl that uniquely blurs together the psychedelic guitar pop and soaring West Coast harmonies of their debut with warm electronics, programmed loops and reverb-soaked percussion. A first track from the album, Dojo Rising is online now.
