Cloud Cult is an experimental indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota l… Read Full Bio ↴Cloud Cult is an experimental indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota led by singer/songwriter Craig Minowa. Formed in 1995, the name originated from the ancient prophecies of indigenous North Americans
The band's founder and singer Craig Minowa has a degree in Environmental Science, and his environmental, political, and social awareness is reflected in much of Cloud Cult's music. (Note: Craig Minowa actually has stated he intentionally doesn't sing about environmental awareness because he lives it...he doesn't need to preach it) The band's self-created non-profit record label, Earthology Records, uses the most environmentally friendly methods available to ensure minimum damage to the environment.
After two solo LP's, The Shade Project (1995), and Who Killed Puck? (2000), Minowa's sudden loss of his two-year-old son and subsequent separation from his wife, Cloud Cult emerged with They Live On The Sun in 2003, combining concepts of Minowa with performances by cellist Sarah Young and drummer Dan Greenwood, who shortly became members of the band. This album was deeply personal and painful album for Cloud Cult and you don't often hear songs from it in concert.
Minowa continued to use music to cope with the loss of his son on the following album Aurora Borealis. This album did begin to branch out more into exploration of pain and loss instead of just feeling it.
Minowa reunited with his wife, and the next album is widely considered their crowning achievement. Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus involved collaboration from a variety of musicians and has garnered praise from critics, even being acclaimed as "a work of insane genius". This album is capped off with the "happy-go-lucky" song, Lucky Today. This album was selected by esurance to be animated into a commercial. This was a contest for the most environmentally sound band because esurance labels themselves as the paperless insurance provider.
On April 10th 2007 Cloud Cult officially released their sixth LP, The Meaning of 8 (although it was available for sale online in late January): the first single was titled "Take Your Medicine." In April 2008, the band followed it with Feel Good Ghosts.
In 2009 band announced a break till 2010, though they released limited re-releases of their albums Lost Songs from the Lost Years, They Live on the Sun and Aurora Borealis (the last two as a double-disc).
Their concerts are certainly a sight to be seen. Along with Minowa on Guitars (and other fun things), they have got bass, drums, violin and cello. There are two official band members who actually do very little music during the shows; Minowa's wife Connie and Scott are painters. They create original works of art during the show (breaking only occasionally to sing or sometimes Scott plays Trumpet). Then, at the end of the show, they silent auction these paintings off to the highest bidder.
Their official website is www.cloudcult.com.

"To hell with the going down"
This has to be the most clever BAR/ verse I've ever heard!! It screams to me Heaven !! ..........
To hell with the going down im only going up
to heaven with Jesus
to fill my cup
He has a free gift
We all need it
Its infinite
No more sad
No more mad
No more bad
Only happy
Only glad
Its your decision
Be reunited with our creator
We want him to say
Come on in
You know me your forgivin
Instead of saying you knew me not goto hell with all that sinnin 😢

A spiritual man looks for direction & purpose in the face of traumatic loss, Spirit within him is ignited--Mr. Minowa, your lyrics & music bubble from deep within a human family yearning for its inner Calling & power:"It is this time which can be so redeeming, so clarifying, so sobering, bringing people to the present, where they can seek more simple pleasures, more natural activities, become more present to to one another, more available to one another, more comprehending of what they see around them.
It is within this that certain individuals will begin to reclaim a greater [spiritual] intelligence that resides within each person, an intelligence we call Knowledge, a greater mind unspoiled by the world, un afraid of the world, here on a greater mission that is your mission, accountable only to God and to the great Angelic Presence that serves the Creator in this world and throughout the universe."--
"The New World" free online at www.NewMessage.org/Experience is a similar inspiration that has been the Turning Point in my own life; it contained a preparation, a blessing, destined relationships, & a powerful resonance experience that completely altered my life; a real homecoming inside.
Prayers for all those who've gone through great transition & traumatic loss as well globally at this time of unprecedented planetary change, a change which can call out of each of us our greater destined, gifts for coming into the world at this time. Craig [lead singer] has said his performances are the most powerfully spiritual experiences he knows of as of 09, it flows through him here http://youtu.be/loTe2ep0OQ4?t=20m1s
Spirit flows through me powerfully here: www.NewMessage.org/the-night-meditation a free #guidedmeditation :"Come close to the Presence within you. It is so close..." #PurposeMeaningandDirection #Destiny #RealFreedom #InnerAuthority #ContributionToAWorldInNeed #Spirituality #ascension #prophecy
(listening to this a fair bit KEXP, thank you KEXP & www.cloudcult.com/albums for the incredible production & recording & video editing work here, of a hard to record setting: acoustic instruments & minimal voice amplification, so beautiful.)

I'm from one of the remotest corner of India...Nagaland...a place which many would never hear in their lifetime... But you don't know how much your music has inspired my life....You may never visit our small state but one day I will earn enough to come and see you play live... Keep inspiring, keep making your beautiful music...Listening to your music the clouds and the sky turns into art and value the messages which God paints for us every single day..
Paul Mac
You still here??? And have you seen them yet?

i feel the same, i've never felt so much humility in music before these folks came out.
J. Anthony Jastrzembski
About four years ago, I made them dinner, and they played every song we asked for. They are some of the most genuine performers I have ever been privileged to see. I emailed Craig about a year ago and he remembered me, and was nothing but warm. These people are truly an inspiration.
BR
Saw them live a couple times ten or more years ago. That sincerity and lack of ego is clear in everything they do. Great story

This is one of my favorite videos produced by KEXP. They offered Cloud Cult the best live performance recording for online (for FREE!). If KEXP continues on with this type of video production focused on quality (semi underground) music then we are in for a treat for the next decade! This is one of the many benefits to supporting and donating to the station. Long live the Seattle music scene backed and led by KEXP.
