Cloud Control – CMJ New Peak – PopMatters Review

Cloud Control‘s latest release, Dream Cave, just received a glowing review from PopMatters. John Bergstrom over at PopMatters says “…Cloud Control have entered that exclusive fraternity of bands who can combine the harrowing and the enthralling, the melodic and the dissonant, the ugly and the beautiful, without a hint of seams between the disparate forces.” On this album, the band experimented with various studio edits with results that will remind you of The Beach Boy’s “Good Vibrations“. The band also experimented with where they recorded vocals. For the title track “Dream Cave“, Allister Wright literally recorded the vocals inside a cave. Tracks on Dream Cave have had comparisons ranging from Check Your Head era Beastie Boys to Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin. Dream Cave reached a new peak by jumping over 100 spots and landing at #34 this week, poised for the top 30 very soon. If you haven’t checked out Dream Cave yet, do yourself a favor and get into it.
