Cloud Cult is the Minneapolis band led by singer-songwriter Craig Minowa, and it plays indie rock like a sprawling art collective. The name comes from the prophecies of indigenous North Americans, and the music reaches just as wide: experimental rock, folky strums and baroque pop swells, with Connie Minowa and a big cast of players filling out the sound.
They've worked through The Meaning of 8, Love, The Seeker, Metamorphosis and Alchemy Creek on Earthology Records, and the songs chase big feelings with open arms, from "No Hell" and "1x1x1" to "One Way Out of a Hole" and "I am a Force Field". A single station's listeners have kept them on its countdowns for years.
