Cloud Control : Gold Canary

Cloud Control

Gold Canary - 7"

With tribal chants travelling alongside steady percussion and then exploding with a cosmic breakdown, Gold Canary could very well be likened to David Byrne and Fela Kuti holding hands in space. The b-side, Vintage Books draws on inspiration from the great melody makers of our time, with inventive pop melodies and old-time girl/boy harmonies from an era when pop music was pure and, well, just made you smile.

Band Bio

Hailing from the picturesque Blue Mountains near Sydney, Cloud Control formed after performing together in the play The Pirates of Penzance. Made up of Alister Wright (guitar/lead vocals), Jeremy Kelshaw (bass) and siblings Heidi (keyboards/vocals) and Ulrich Lenffer (drums) they honed their sound when they recorded their first self-titled 6-track EP in 2007. Using all analog recording equipment gave each track a natural feel, harking back to a golden age of music. To record their debut full-length release, the band holed up in the mountains of Australia’s Megalong Valley. Wright says of the experience: “The Valley is an isolated place, nice to work in. There’s no town nearby, just properties. It can be inspirational.”
