MOUNTAIN FOLK: Jeremy, Alister, Ulrich, and Heidi.


Cloud Control are an indie/pop band from the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia, consisting of Alister Wright (guitar, vocals), Jeremy Kelshaw (bass), and siblings Heidi (keys, vocals) and Ulrich Lenffer (drums). Bliss Release, released earlier this year, is the debut LP from the up-and-coming young band.

BLISS REALEASE. Rating...7/10

Bliss Release is a great debut from a unique-sounding band that will have a lot to offer Australian music in the coming years. Unfortunately, I passed up the opportunity to see Cloud Control live at The Republic in Hobart because no-one knew who they were, and weren't willing to go with me. I should've still gone to the gig!!! By not going, I broke a golden rule of mine: do not pass up the opportunity to see good live music, even if it has to be by yourself! This collection of indie pop songs truely captured the spirit of the Blue Mountains, and listening to the album I really believe that this would've been best experienced in a live setting. Singles, Gold Canary, This Is What I Said (which remarkably includes a verse of completely improvised studio vocals), and There's Nothing In The Water... are all high points in an album that has contrasting dynamic from song-to-song.

All in all, Cloud Control have done enough to suggest that they are part of the exciting next crop of Australian bands.
