Official Gristmill Suggestion: Cloud Cult

Their new album rocks 1

cloud cultI've been a huge fan of the band Cloud Cult for a while, but their new album, The Meaning of 8, is really knocking my socks off. Or rocking my socks off. Rocking my knocks off. Whatever. It's a huge leap forward and my favorite album of this young year. Right now you can only get it by pre-ordering it on their website -- you'll get a full album download in the process.

If you're wondering why Cloud Cult deserves the support of greens -- besides socking our rocks off -- see Sarah's post here.

Here's the glorious first song off the album. It's called "Chain Reaction":

    Cloud Cult rulesThe only problem I have with Minowa's music is his use of sound clips from when his son was alive.  I find those little bits child voice agonizing, far more than I would have thought possible.  Other than that, one of my favorite bands of the last two years.
