The anticipation for the new album by Cloud Cult is killing me. Although it’s not hitting the checkout lines until April 8th there can be found two songs off of the forthcoming album entitled Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes). If their past genius, as well as the two songs that have been released thus far, are any indication this will easily slide once again to year ending best of lists. I’ve already reserved a spot in the top three on my list {as last year they were hands down the best album of 2007}.
If you’ve never taken a second and listened through the talent that is Craig Minowa and the rest of the Cult then take a second and let them change your mind on just what music can sound like. Their albums are as eclectic as their live shows {incorporating painting into their sets is just brilliant} and if one song doesn’t tickle your particular fancy you can rest assured something else on the album will. Take a listen for yourself to these first two teasers of what is sure to be a phenomenal album. Also, in an email earlier this week, they mentioned something to do with a presale event taking place on their website in the near future.
mp3 : Cloud Cult - Everyone Here is a Cloud
mp3 : Cloud Cult - When Water Comes to Life
The first track is one they have been playing in concert for awhile and when I heard it live a few months back it was quite amazing. To really get a sense of their sound turn your speakers up loud and just revel in the beauty of it all. Also, if you’re a Cloud Cult fan and live anywhere close to the Twin Cities {Minneapolis and St. Paul for the out o’ midwesters} they could use your help this Sunday, March 2, to film a video. For information on that just click here {they’re promising free memories and quite possibly your face, closeup, on MTV}. Also, as good as their studio efforts are, they are quite brilliant in concert.
