Cloud Control’s second UK single, the rambunctious There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight, is out on 7 March 2011 via Infectious Music. The track will be available on CD, limited edition 7” vinyl and as part of a digital bundle, all backed with exclusive b-sides including a radical reworking by bretonLABS.

There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight and its predecessor Meditation Song #2 (Why, Oh Why) both feature on Cloud Control’s inspired debut album Bliss Release, which arrives on these shores in May. Concocted between the rocky outcrop of the Blue Mountains and the hard place that is Sydney’s 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.
