The Midwest band Cloud Cult is more than a band – it's a creative collective who continually celebrates life and love, and catharsis through music and multimedia performances (CloudCult.com.) They're also known for their ecofriendly ways of making and touring their music. Recently in 2022, their orchestral-folk-rock sound was expanded as they were playing and recording with the Minnesota Orchestra. Over the years, the band has embraced joy as an act of resilience, and their latest, Alchemy Creek was written, recorded and produced by front man Craig Minowa in the solitude of a tiny cabin on wheels and named for the nearby creek in the middle of the Wisconsin woods. The band plays some of these new songs, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1. The Universe Woke Up As You 2. One Human Being 3. Different Kind Of Day

Minnesota's Cloud Cult has a rich eleven-album history of bucking the mainstream music industry in favor of independently releasing music via their environmentally conscious record label Earthology Records.

Known for incorporating live painting into their concerts, Cloud Cult are pioneers of multimedia artistry, most recently highlighted with the feature film release of The Seeker – starring Josh Radnor & Alex McKenna – which accompanied the band's 2016 album, landed the group on Entertainment Weekly's Must List, and garnered prestigious awards on the indie film festival circuit.

The orchestral-folk-rock Minnesota band Cloud Cult is a creative collective who continually celebrates catharsis, change, and comfort through music and multimedia performances. [They're also hailed as one of the Top 10 Green Bands by Rolling Stone with environmentally-sound packaging, a geothermal-powered studio, and touring with net zero greenhouse gases.] The latest record, Metamorphosis, is “all about inner change... from the kind that's marinated in joy to the kind that hurts like hell but somehow makes room for a better you. Life is a rabbit hole of wonder, mystery, chaos, pain, and love, and these songs are here to help you hum your way through it.” (Cloud Cult's Facebook). From the woods of Wisconsin, on a balmy 30 degree day, Cloud Cult's founder and main songwriter Craig Minowa plays in the snow with an acoustic guitar, featuring the rest of the band on backing tracks. - Caryn Havlik Set list: “Back Into My Arms” “Victor” “Song From Oblivion” Watch: "Back Into My Arms": Watch "Victor": Watch "Song from Oblivion":

In the latest episodes, the guys look at Minnesotan indie-rock band, Cloud Cult. Lead by Craig Minowa, founder of Earthology Records, the band originated in 1995 as a solo project before evolving into the group we now know today. Specifically, we will be looking at their 2005 release, Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus. It’s a 25 track album that is as eccentric as its name will lead you to believe, as the band grapples with mortality and loss of a childlike innocence. Take care of yourselves and wash your damn hands.

There were a projected six episodes for the illustrious third season of the podcast, however, due to 'dat rona, only five of those episodes were recorded prior to 'social distancing' and 'self-quarantining,' and overall, the production and release of those five episodes was rushed and moved up. With that being said, for the first episode of season three, I welcome my co-worker Molly to the program. She and I have only worked together for like five or six months, but almost immediately after meeting her, I knew she'd be a great guest on the podcast; and I was right. We had some laughs, and we got really real, as Molly played a mix of tunes dating back through her high school years in Wisconsin, her early 20s in the Pacific Northwest, and her return to the midwest.  For more information about the AWARD WINNING music blog Anhedonic Headphones, click here!

The band Cloud Cult is hard to categorize — both musically and lyrically — though it’s been called an “orchestral indie rock collective.” Less in question is the profound and life-giving force of its music. Cloud Cult’s trajectory was altered the day its co-founder and singer-songwriter, Craig Minowa, and his wife woke up to find that their two-year-old son had mysteriously died in his sleep. Live from our studios on Loring Park, we explore the art that has emerged ever since — spanning the human experience from the rawest grief to the fiercest hope. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “Cloud Cult — Music Is Medicine.” Find more at onbeing.org.

“No revolution can be won with negativity.” Craig Minowa is a composer and the lead singer of the indie rock band Cloud Cult (@CloudCult), and also the co-founder of Earthology Records. Cloud Cult has produced 11 albums in two decades, and in 2004, was named Artist of the Year at the Minnesota Music Awards. Earthology Records was the first record label in the U.S. to create 100% postconsumer recycled CD packaging. In 2002, Craig and his wife Connie unexpectedly lost their two-year old son Kaiden. This tragedy sent the couple into a long period of isolated grieving, where Craig wrote more than 100 songs to deal with the loss. He discusses the realities of this life event, music as a form of personal medicine, and the importance to talk about Kaiden and death in general.  Craig draws inspiration from “the big picture” issues of life and tries to develop music that recognizes the beauty in everyone and everything.  Craig and I recorded this interview at Papa Charlie’s in Lutsen, Minnesota, just hours before the band performed live in front of a sell out crowd on Feb. 11, 2017. Enjoy! Some topics mentioned and discussed: Technology progressing faster than spirituality A music industry drunk with ego Presence and mindfulness How our society lacks the necessary tools to handle and talk about death His frequent wandering into the woods Understanding the purpose of life CRAIG'S FAVORITES RELATED TO THE TWIN CITIES: Favorite Restaurants Birchwood Cafe, Sea Salt Eatery and Thai Basil Favorite Public Space Along the Mississippi River near the University of Minnesota Favorite Annual Event: Northern Spark Most Fascinating Person You Know Dan Greenwood (former Cloud Cult drummer) State of the Union Message “We've really got to focus on the unity, love and neighborliness.”  He also referenced Obama's final speech as President
