Cloud Control – There's Nothing In The Water We Can't Fight

20th Jan 2011

Cloud Control have confirmed the release of their second UK single, the rambunctious There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight, 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.

Cloud Control arrived in the UK last autumn to play a number of headline shows, including three at The Communion Club, as well as support dates with Tame Impala, Local Natives and The Temper Trap. Back home they played their biggest shows yet, won over a string of festival crowds and supported Vampire Weekend. They won two Independent Music Awards and were nominated for two ARIA Awards (the Australian equivalent of the BRITs) and the Triple J Album of the Year. The band have also announced their first European shows of 2011, the dates are:
