Cloud Cult ConcertMarch 7, 2009 at 8–11 p.m.
Since 1995, Cloud Cult have crafted sprawling, cathartic albums that have won them the attention of the New York Times, MTV, Spin, Billboard, and a devoted following of fans.
During that time, the band has grown from the solo project of singer/songwriter Craig Minowa to include cellist Sarah Young, violinist Shannon Frid, painters Connie Minowa and Scott West (who create paintings live at the band's performances), and recent addition bassist Shawn Neary (formerly of Tapes ˜n' Tapes), and Arlen Peiffer.
With the new album, Minowa and company have continued the evolution of Cloud Cult's unique sound, which refuses to adhere to any single music genre. Covering the spectrum of indie-rock to electronica to folk to classical, "Feel Good Ghosts ekeeps the listener hanging from track to track as the lyrics belie Minowa's wide-eyed and often boyish delivery of philosophical wanderings.
