Cloud Control – ‘Buffalo Country’
The first time I saw Cloud Control was in a small back room of a venue in Sydney called World Bar, in Kings Cross, with an average PA and about 400 of my closest friends. And even though I couldn’t really see them apart from the drummer, and with the room being brick the sound was bouncing all over the place, the quality of their songs still shone through.
These Sydney folk shot to “fame” when they won a Sydney University band comp. The night I saw them they were supporting Who the Hell faves The Basics, and since then have been a regular fixture at many a Sydney indie gig. They’re currently preparing to record an EP and ‘Buffalo Country’ is a demo of one of the songs that will most likely appear on said EP. Vocalist Al Wright has a warble not too dissimilar to that of Antony Hegarty of Antony and the Johnsons. I don’t really have a nice summary sentence so suffice to say, check it out!
