Cuddle Up With: Cloud Control

Cuddle Up With: Cloud Control

Cloud Control is good. Really good. They play pop songs. Good pop songs. Debut album (the properly titled) Bliss Release is out now, and I would highly recommend directing your ears in its general direction.

The band draws from quite a few influences in the rock world, including New Pornographers, Vampire Weekend, Paul Simon, The Smiths, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah; its all present here, but they are all swallowed by the band's incredibly mature and self-aware song writing. Not one detail is overlooked, every song is intentional and confident; there isn't one track that could even be considered mediocre.

I try not to beam too bright for a particular artist, but this band is going places, and going quickly. You can't hide music like this. If you are the type to purchase music, don't hesitate to drop some digital dough on Bliss Release.
