With its most recent album, 2013’s Dream Cave, Australia’s Cloud Control moves far ahead of the current folksy-psychedelic pack. Fronted by Heidi and Ulrich Lenffer, Cloud Control does the occasional synthesizer-pop tune or two (check 2011’s Bliss Release for that), but more often than not they go for a misty-mountain vibe that’s more daydreamy and poppy than epically torrential. If you can’t get with the rural pastoral feel of “Dojo Rising,” wait for the spaced-out “Moonrabbit” or the new wave folk of “Ice Age Heatwave” to come around.
Mon., Jan. 13, 9 p.m., $10, with Royal Shoals and Avers, Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 267-639-4528, bootandsaddlephilly.com.
