Cloud Control’s nostalgia bender

Cloud Control are reuniting to celebrate 15 years of Bliss Release – the psych-folk debut album catapulted them into the ears and airwaves of 2010, took out the Australian Music Prize and even landed a track in Magic Mike? 

First meeting as teenagers in the NSW Blue Mountains, it’s been nearly a decade between drinks for the original four-piece: Alister Wright, Heidi and Ulrich Lenffer and Jeremy Kelshaw.

Since then, you might’ve heard Wright’s project Vlossom with Nick Littlemore of PNAU. Meanwhile, Heidi founded FEAT., an organisation working to create sustainable touring models and practices for musicians.

This May and June, they reunite for a national tour down memory lane playing through Bliss Release and more, with one dollar from each ticket helping fund an Indigenous-led biodiversity regeneration program on Lungtalaanana/ Clark Island, north of Tasmania, in partnership between FEAT., the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre, GreenCollar and WWF.

Cloud Control’s Heidi Lenffer joins Breakfast’s Pam Boland ahead of the tour to talk nostalgia, ‘solar slices’ and muscle memory. 

The band play Freo.Social Saturday 7 June, more tour info here.
