Cloud Cult and Roma Di Luna at Majestic Theatre
Cloud Cult has taken on more polish and windy orchestration over the past few years, keeping touch with the genuine, ambitious yearning that leader Craig Minowa used to channel through a more chaotic patchwork. The raw, electronic-leaning production of 2005's Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus is all but gone on 2008's Feel Good Ghosts (Tea Partying Through Tornadoes), but neither this nor an increase in popularity has dragged the band down into music-industry silliness. Minowa and wife Connie (who paints onstage during the band's live show) recently moved from rural Minnesota to a new homestead in rural Wisconsin west of Madison. He's been crafting a new album, Light Chasers, due out sometime in 2010, and a couple of new songs will make their live debut here.
