Cloud Control
Band City of Blue Mountains Australia
Cloud Control formed in City of Blue Mountains, Australia. Cloud Control has 3 chart appearances on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2010–2013. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “There's Nothing In The Water We Can't Fight”, which appears on 1 list with a best position of #18. The station that charted Cloud Control most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2010.
Cloud Control came down out of the Blue Mountains near Sydney with Bliss Release, their 2010 debut on Ivy League Records, and it didn't take long for the record to find friends. It won them the Australian Music Prize in March 2011, and the band picked up a pair of ARIA nominations along the way.
"There's Nothing In The Water We Can't Fight" is the song that did the damage: a bright, shimmering bit of indie rock that sounds like a campfire singalong wired up for festival stages. Alister Wright and company had a knack for making something homespun feel huge. Dream Cave followed in 2013, darker and dreamier, with "Scar" and "Dojo Rising" carrying the torch.
Through the 2010s they logged serious road miles too, opening for Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Supergrass, The Magic Numbers, The Temper Trap, Local Natives and Weezer. Overseas they signed with Infectious Music for the UK and Europe, Humming Records for Germany and Votiv for North America.
