...so I finally got to see my new favorite band live and they lived up to every expectation. Fantastic live show. Highly recommended. In celebration of their triumphant return to the San Francisco Bay Area, I thought I'd post some music from their brand new album "Feel Good Ghosts"... a fantastic follow-up to their brilliant "The Meaning of 8" album. (My pick for album of the year... along with "Great Northern".) I mentioned in the previous post their sound is slightly a... MORE

When I made my Top 10 (actually 11) list for 2007 I left two albums which I only discovered in January of this year. The first was Menomena, which I posted on earlier... The other was the brilliant band from Minnesota, Cloud Cult. When I first heard this album, it made almost every other album I was listening to seem trivial. The quick back story: Cloud Cult is basically Craig Minowa, musician and environmentalist... He formed Earthology Records and what started out as... MORE

summary An Andrew Birdian pop lament that's over too soon - much like the tragically short life of the lead singer's son that inspired it.
from Cloud Cult's latest album.

a video for "chemicals collide" from 'meaning of 8'. the video gives you bits of a live show...it is quite an experience! Cloud Cult's new release, coming out on April 8th, following up to last year's "Meaning of 8", moves past death into the afterlife where Craig Minowa and company spend most of the album. The lyrics, though never exactly morbid int he past, speak of of angels and ghosts and conceptions of what happens to the body after death. Minowa's work is profoundl... MORE

We all have song lists, right? I mean, It is difficult to imagine A MOGger without song lists. Indeed, folks have rhapsodized & agonized & asked us to analyze various song lists made for specific purposes. ie; The break-up mix,Songs to clean house by, Angry music, happy music and many others.I posted about a special list I have. It exists mostly in my heart and head.This list consists of songs (or other pieces of music) that reached deep inside me and touched my spirit ... MORE

Cloud Cult has a new release. It may be out, and it may not be out. You just need to know how to find it. I would suggest going to www.cloudcult.com if you are interested. The band is well worth the listen, and this track is da bomb!
Enjoy!

(I will post my photos from the show at a future date).
Cloud Cult is a band from Minneapolis, MN., that I was turned on to a couple of years ago by my friend Trevor of the band HIJK. The album they were touring in support of, Advice For The Happy Hippopotamus, was genius and ended up one of my favorite albums of the year.
Then I found out how eco-friendly they are -- they buy carbon credits to make up for the carbon footprint they leave by going on tour!
They've released a... MORE

Have you spent much time thinking of the environmental impact of your listening habits? Sure, the "environmentalist" attitude is growing more hip & maybe slowly mainstream.... with the likes of Radiohead & others becoming conscious of their Carbon footprint in touring. But what about the rest of the process in the industry? Minnesotan group Cloud Cult have taken their action a step or giant leap further, looking more holistically at their entire process and how it im... MORE

although i have a month and three days until the official release of cloud cult's new 'feel good ghosts (teapartying through tornadoes)' - that would make the release April 8th, for all you calendar-challenged people out there - i have been listening to a track posted on their website for download - 'everybody here is a cloud'. it sounds like craig minowa is once again, using his late son Cayden's unexpected death at two years old, exploring the issues surrounding de...

CLOUD CULT WAS FUCKING FANTASTIC (even though they didn't play Alien Christ. Tear.) It was really nice to see a band that I didn't have expectations and previous knowledge of. It was cool. Cloud Cult's album "The Meaning of 8" is by far the album you need to go buy right now. They're utterly mindblowing. They are my top pick of 07. It will remain that way unless, oh, 07 doesn't end? I can't foresee anything bumping it out. Andy recommended them to me, and really it was t... MORE

oh man where do i begin...at the beginning? we (being me and my friend vanessa) arrived at about 9, missing the opening act (jeff johnson...i think). rewind...first of all, we went to sonic boom for cloud cult's in-store acoustic performance. they were half an hour late because they were doing sound check at neumos. while we waited, we spent our time looking at album art for a bunch of obscure bands. there is definitely some weird stuff out there. did you know there is...

h2. Cloud Cult - Pretty Voice _Cloud Cult's_ origins go back to the early '90s when Craig Minowa, a student studying environmental science, started essentially, a solo project where he made music from sounds collected from non-musical related objects. Cloud Cult was really just a side project for Minowa at the time who would go on to become an environmental activist and eventually own and run a self sustaining organic farm. In 2000 Minowa's wife, a felow activis... MORE
