Music reviews of Light Chasers (Dlcd)
Music Review: 'the fuel is nearly spent; check the maps again'
Rating: 5 Stars
When I first listened to Cloud Cult's The Meaning of 8 (2007) and Feel Good Ghosts (2008) back then I heard the strength of that music right away but it was just a little too alternative and not beautiful enough to become a part of my favorite music. The creativity of Craig Minowa seemed overwhelming and his musical talents unquestionable but still the experimental element of the majority of his music kept it away from me. Nevertheless I was intrigued by Cloud Cult and reached for their earlier albums. Finding out about the tragedy in Craig's personal life everything started making sense. They Live On The Sun (2003), Aurora Borealis (2004), Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus (2005) are ambient experimental escapes from pain through music by artist who is not ready to leave pain behind.
Light Chasers (2010) is my favorite album by Cloud Cult. I am very attracted to the amazing concept Craig placed in front of himself and brilliantly fulfilled. More and more of his songs are not only interesting and intriguing but melodic and harmonious as well. Many of them are brilliant ideas with profound lyrics beautiful vocal line or lines and full instrumentation including strings of violins and cellos. But as soon as Craig delivers one of these acts of beauty he follows it with one of his experimental complex pieces some of us know so well by now. What I love about this album is the balance between these different forms of expression so perfectly tied together. Just when I am listening again to familiar Cloud Cult and I am intrigued but in need of beautiful melody and harmony, I receive it. The expression of lyrics by its master is as powerful as these lyrics themselves. My favorite songs of this album seem to be those most meaningful to me. There Is So Much Energy In Us, Responsible, You'll Be Bright, Forces Of The Unseen, and the magical tribal Blessings with its labradford-like motive. These are all jewels and not the only ones. I will enjoy this album for a long time as I have been increasingly captivated by both The Meaning of 8 and Feel Good Ghosts. The Meaning Of 8 is most likely as strong an album as Light Chasers is and many of you may consider it your favorite. Both of them are excellent but the increased percentage of harmony, melody and beauty in Light Chasers makes this album closer to me. However, looking at the space travelled by Captain Craig so far, by grounds discovered and improved I can't help expecting even greater things from him and his wonderful crew in the future. 'we took the church's veil and built a mighty sail to carry forth this ship'. I have a feeling you'll pick a great topic to focus on next, Craig.

Description of Light Chasers (Dlcd)
Cloud Cults eighth studio album, "Light Chasers" is due out September 14th via it's own imprint Earthology Records with distribution via The Rebel Group & RED. The latest full-length draws most of it's inspiration from the joy (and worries) of rebirth - Craig (singerlsongwriter) and Connie (live painter) welcomed a healthy baby boy into their lives this past fall - after a long grieving process of the loss of their first son Kaiden. "Light Chasers'' is a concept album that interweaves stories focused on the exploration of the mysteries of the universe, life and death. It's a 56 minute journey, with no audio breaks, that explores love and loss and searches for the light at the end of the tunnel. It also lends itself beautifully into Cloud Cults vision that albums should be seen as a whole versus the modern trend of focusing on singles.The first song released from the new album was "Running With the Wolves,'' which came out digitally in April as part of a special Earth Day EP and was premiered on KCMP/The Current and KEXP where the song instantly found fans.
