Cloud Cult developed in the mid-nineties as Craig Minowa recruited artists to contribute to his solo recordings. The band's name originated from the ancient prophecies of indigenous North Americans.[1] This early work earned Cloud Cult several offers from record labels, but all were rejected in favor of self-publishing.[2]

In 1997, lead singer Craig Minowa created Earthology Records to release his band's recordings. This nonprofit label uses only recycled materials and donates all profits to environmental charities.[3] The band also tours in a biodiesel van.[4] However, this environmentalism rarely shows up in the band's lyrics.

The most common theme to Cloud Cult's songs is the 2002 death of Craig and Connie Minowa's baby son Kaidin. After this tragedy Craig wrote over a hundred songs to deal with the loss.[5]

One of the most distinctive features of Cloud Cult shows is the live painting by Connie Minowa and Scott West.

Cloud Cult has been known to cover Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man. A studio cut is available on Spinout Record’s Duluth Does Dylan Revisited, a compilation of Bob Dylan covers that reflects how the local music culture has been influenced by being the birthplace of the music icon. A live version of the band's cover is featured on "Live at KEXP, Volume III," a 2007 album produced by KEXP-FM, a Seattle public radio station.[6]

Cloud Cult will be releasing a new album entitled Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes) on April 8, and a Cloud Cult documentary will also come out this year.[7]
