: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Minnesota-based art-rockers' sixth album in seven years is :,
: another affecting study in excess, but lacks some of the :
:' eccentricities they built their rep on. ':
,: :,
: If there are still a few bands who can keep selling records :
:' after the music industry's struggles with technology are all ':
,: over, I hope Cloud Cult will be one. The Minnesota-based :,
: art-rockers make their recordings using geothermal energy and :
:' recycled materials, donate proceeds to environmentally friendly ':
,: charities, and play concerts with an onstage painter. Their :,
: grand, unkempt indie rock is at once jam band, emo, and :
:' avant-garde. Their songs, born out of personal tragedy, are ':
,: otherworldly lessons in being human. :,
: :
:' On Cloud Cult's sixth album in seven years, The Meaning of 8, ':
,: founding singer-songwriter Craig Minowa remains both tormented :,
: and inspired by the 2002 death of his infant son, Kaidin. Excess :
:' has always been part of Minowa's unique brilliance, and this ':
,: album is still overstuffed with enough concepts, :,
: instrumentation, and emotional climaxes for cathartic :
:' collectives like the Arcade Fire or Danielson. At the same ':
,: time, The Meaning of 8 underscores that what made previous Cloud :,
: Cult releases so powerfully affecting was not just Minowa's :
:' grief, but also his eccentricities. ':
,: :,
: Where 2004's Aurora Borealis sought to reach Minowa's son :
:' through light, and 2005's Advice for the Happy Hippopotamus by ':
,: transcending flesh, The Meaning of 8 resorts to chemicals. :,
: Songwriting can be like medicine, Minowa has said, a way to deal :
:' with pain. Fittingly, free download "Take Your Medicine" ':
,: showcases the band's strengths, dissolving jagged bass, violin, :,
: faraway piano, music-box lullabies, and choral chants into a :
:' bittersweet, eclectic whole. The source of Minowa's pain (and ':
,: one "meaning" of the album's title) becomes apparent amid :,
: storming electric guitars on "Your 8th Birthday", as he :
:' repeatedly cries his departed son's name. ':
