They were also signed to Infectious Music in the UK and Europe, Humming Records in Germany, and Votiv in North America.
The band supported a number of local and international acts, including Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Supergrass, The Magic Numbers, Yves Klein Blue, The Temper Trap, Last Dinosaurs, Local Natives and Weezer. The band was nominated for awards in Australia, including two ARIA Awards. The band won the Australian Music Prize on 3 March 2011 for Bliss Release.
History
Growing up in the Blue Mountains, the four members of Cloud Control met at the rehearsals for The Pirates of Penzance.
They entered their first "Battle of the Bands", which they subsequently won. They recorded and released their debut EP, Cloud Control, in November 2007. The single "Death Cloud", was picked up by the Australian youth radio station Triple J and received strong airplay.
After a string of festival appearances and tours with a variety of Australian bands, the band released its first album, Bliss Release, in 2010. They recorded the album in the house of their producer, Liam Judson. Two singles were released from the album, "Gold Canary" and "There's Nothing in the Water We Can't Fight". The latter appeared at number 18 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2010. The single "Gold Canary" was voted as Single of the Week in the Rebel Playlist on the UK's BBC Radio 6 Music 2010.
The band supported Foo Fighters along with You Am I at their 2011 concert for flood relief in Brisbane, Queensland.
Their song "Just for Now" was used in the 2012 movie Magic Mike.
Their second album, Dream Cave, was released on 9 August 2013.
On 3 January 2015, the bass guitarist, Jeremy Kelshaw, announced his departure from the group on the band's Facebook page.
The band's fourth studio album, Zone was released on 1 September 2017. Their label said the album was written in a small beach house near the NSW regional centre of Forster and has been described as "profound, but also flippant, euphoric, but conceptual". The album peaked at number 53 on the ARIA Charts.
The band has been largely inactive since 2018. Alister Wright has begun a new project, Vlossom, while Heidi Lenffer has pursued entrepreneurial work as the leader of FEAT.
