Cloud Cult’s new album, Alchemy Creek, has just arrived. Written and recorded in a tiny home in the middle of the woods, Alchemy Creek is an “untamed musical journey into both the literal and psychological wilderness.”

For the new album, Cloud Cult continues to explore the “use of music as a way to heal” and includes themes of “transformation and the interconnectedness of life.”

Over the past two years, Craig Minowa has been releasing a steady stream of songs and videos to the band’s Patreon base. This album is a culmination of work from that time, and while Minowa was largely isolated throughout the process, he invited his bandmates out this past Spring for recording sessions, including Shannon Frid-Rubin (violin), Daniel Zamzow (cello), Sarah Perbix (French horn), Shawn Neary (trombone), and Jeremy Harvey (drums). The mastering of Alchemy Creek was done at Rare Form Mastering by Greg Reierson, who has mastered eight of Cloud Cult’s records.

This album comes out just ahead of Cloud Cult’s headlining slot on August 9th at the People Fest in Yuba, WI and then on August 28th Cloud Cult kicks-off a headline tour at The Sinclair in Boston, MA that includes stops at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC, World Café Live in Philly, Neptune Theatre in Seattle, Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR and two nights at the Palace Theater in St. Paul.

Originally formed in Minnesota by Cloud Cult’s frontman Craig Minowa, who started as a solo project, the band has since evolved into a seven-person band with an 11-album history. Since their inception, they have remained completely independent, releasing music via their own environmentally-conscious record label Earthology Records.

The common thread through what they do is “to explore the medicinal powers of music and art in life’s journey through pain, love, and catharsis.”
