- Cloud Cult released their first ever acoustic album -- "Unplug" -- on Earthology Records on April 15th, 2014. "Breakfast With My Shadow" is the 2nd track on the album and is accompanied by a dynamic range of newly orchestrated favorites from the band's critically acclaimed discography. Dubbed "insane genius" by Pitchfork and in the top ten artists of the decade from the Denver Post, Cloud Cult continues to push forward with the band's new album "Unplug".
The new full length record comes on the heels of Cloud Cult's early 2013 release-- "Love" -- which debuted in the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 and resulted in the majority of the band's 2013 tour dates selling out.
Over the past fifteen years, Cloud Cult has remained completely independent. They've sold more than 100,000 albums via their own label, Earthology Records, which was created by lead singer and songwriter Craig Minowa in the late 90's. The label pioneered some of the environmentally friendly manufacturing practices widely used today.
In addition to becoming known for their eco-friendly practices and music, the band's live shows have become legendary emotionally charged performances accompanied by live painting on stage. Cloud Cult's live shows feature a full band complete with violin, cello, trumpet,
trombone and French horn.
"Unplug" was recorded, produced and mixed by Jeff D. Johnson who has been doing Cloud Cult's live sound for the past seven years. The album was then mastered by Jeff Lipton (Bon Iver, Arcade Fire) at Peerless Mastering in Boston.
While the songs were all pulled from the band's existing discography, the versions on "Unplug" are quite different than the album versions. In
addition, "Unplug" is the band's tenth full-length release and first live album. The album is supported by a full national tour and the band's live European debut.

When you have a captive audience, you know it's magic.
It has been 11 years. Still touched when I listen to their music.
Mind blowing. Beautiful in every aspect - music, musicians, setting. The authentic smiles of everyone says everything.
Every time i hear Cloud Cult it peels back another layer of healing. You guys and gals are simply magical. Thank You

After nearly 12 years I will finally get to see you guys play in September and I feel so privileged that it will be an acoutstic setting such as this. Thank you for making the beautiful music and art that you all do, it has been and will continue to be a favorite companion of mine throughout life.

I can't believe I just found this band. Great music. The intro reminds me of silent lucidity
I first heard Minowa's art on KEXP Seattle. Such good, good music.
I feel the soul of your music every time I hear it. I am so glad I've gotten to see you live as well! Blessings on your continued inspirations to meaningful music
You are fantastic super Hugo from Brazil

This makes me sad I didn't get to see this, but I'm beyond glad you guys have put an album out of acoustic, and included classics such as this! :D
And all the mosquitoes know I love you, can I love me just as much?
