Cloud Control are an indie rock band originating from the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia1. The band is currently signed to the Australian label Ivy League Records, in which they released their debut album Bliss Release, and to Infectious Records in the UK/Europe. The band has supported a host of local and international acts, including Vampire Weekend, Supergrass, The Magic Numbers, Yves Klein Blue, The Temper Trap, Last Dinosaurs and Local Natives.

Cloud Control 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 Sydneys 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.
