Cloud Cult

About

Conceived in the mid 1990s by Earthology Records founder and environmental activist Craig Minowa, Cloud Cult is a Minnesota-based experimental indie rock band that deftly interweaves disparate instrumentation with Minowa's plaintive tenor to create music that's complex and cerebral, yet simultaneously effortlessly elegant. The band is famous for regularly having an artist paint a picture onstage during the show and auctioning the work off to a member of the audience immediately following the performance.
