New Cloud Cult - "When Water Comes To Life"
Download: Cloud Cult - "When Water Comes to Life"
Minnesota-based Cloud Cult have a new album titled Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) and it is set to be released on April 8th of this year. For fans who need a taste sooner than that, Pitchfork shared the new track ‘When Water Comes to Life’ a few days ago via their Forkcast section.
In true Cloud Cult fashion, there’s never a dull moment as this track slowly changes and grows and takes the listener through a series of auditory ups and downs. The tempo and mood mutates from a quiet, peaceful place to something soaked with loud guitars and raucous drums. Craig Minowa’s trembling vocals paired with soaring ethereal instrumentals create a fusion of sound lying somewhere between Beethoven and Björk.
Cloud Cult have always had a pension for creating beautiful blends of the classical and modern, giving them a symphonic sound like an indie rock opera. This song seems to pick up right where 2007’s The Meaning of 8 left off, conveying a soft sound and a hard edge simultaneously, but perhaps sounding a bit more orchestral than electric. If "When Water Comes to Life" is any indication of things to come on their next release, listeners definitely have something to look forward to.
Cloud Cult will be playing First Avenue on Saturday, April 26.

I think Kid Dakota will also be playing with Cloud Cult on a few dates out west... not sure about that though.
Stu -
They are indeed playing together in Dallas in about a few weeks...they might even be playing a SXSW showcase together, if i'm not mistaken.
They're playing at the Walker Art Center's "Rock the Garden" festival with Andrew Bird, The New Pornographers and Bon Iver on June 21st!
