Cloud Cult is an acoustic/pop/rock/indie band I just discovered. They use lots of orchestral instruments on their tracks, which I really like hearing, especially through the lovely HD650. Their latest CD is "Feel Good Ghosts" and I really like it, its a quality recording too. The best tracks are not even on their myspace page. I highly recommend it.

Here is their latest CD cover:

Geesh, I like Cloud Cult, but they should take a break. Bands that release a new album every year burn me out. Not only that, Cloud Cult release huge albums with a ton of short and filler tracks. I first came into them with Aurora Borealis, burned out by Meaning of 8, which was merely okay. Happy Hippo in between, was killer, and one of my favorites from 05.

Thanks for the heads up. Is this new one worth it for waning fans who are a little weary of the schitck? For example, I couldn't imagine enduring the loss of a son. However, I might poke my eyes out if forced to listen to one more mourning track.

I tend to agree with Virometal here. My favorite album is actually "They Live on the Sun", and Happy Hippo is pretty killer too. But these guys could stand to be thrown in the dryer with a new dryer sheet

I wasn't aware they released so many albums so close together, I just discovered them. I think the newest album is definitely worth it! I would not have even created this thread had I not thought so because it was this new album that got me excited about them. I found a couple of their songs on youtube that weren't on their myspace page:
YouTube - Cloud Cult - The Ghost Inside Our House
YouTube - Cloud Cult - Story of Granson Jesus
