Cloud Control Release Acoustic Album And Tour Dates

by Paul Cashmere on February 11, 2014

in Live,New Music,News

Cloud Control have released an acoustic version of their ‘Dream Cave’ album.

‘Dream Cave Unplugged’ is a stripped back alternative to the AMP shortlisted ‘Dream Cave’ album, released in 2013.

Singer Alister Wright says the band wanted to show fans a purer version of how the original songs sounded to the band as demos. “When we were writing the album most of the songs would start off on a laptop, writing beats and gathering ideas, but when we were getting closer to recording the album we spent a lot of time playing the songs unplugged, as a four-piece, in my living room in London. We wanted to do that to make sure the songs worked in a really classic way – that the lyrics and the chords and the melody were holding them together before we added everything else to them.”

The re-imagined album was recorded in Al’s lounge room, fuelled by pizza, beers and acoustic guitars.

Cloud Control will tour Australia in March and April.
