Cloud Cult is a rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band’s founder and singer Craig Minowa has a degree in Environmental Science, and his environmental, political, and social awareness is reflected in much of Cloud Cult’s music. The band’s self-created non-profit record label, Earthology Records, uses the most environmentally friendly methods available to ensure minimum damage to the environment.

After two solo LP’s, ‘The Shade Project,’ 1995, and ‘Who Killed Puck,’ 2000, Craig’s loss of his two-year-old son and separation from his wife, Cloud Cult emerged with ‘They Live On The Sun’ in 2003, combining concepts of Minowa with performances by cellist Sarah young and drummer Dan Greenwood, who shortly became members of the band.
Craig Minowa reunited with his wife and Cloud Cult has released six full length LPs to date. ‘Advice From The Happy Hippopotamus’ involved collaboration from a variety of musicians and has garnered praise from critics, even being acclaimed as “a work of insane genius”.
On April 10th 2007 they officially released their sixth LP, ‘The Meaning of 8’, although it was available for sale online in late January. Their first single from the ‘Meaning of 8’ is titled “Take Your Medicine.”
In April 2008, the band followed the ‘Meaning of 8’ with ‘Feel Good Ghosts.’

Feel Good Ghosts is great but it pales in comparison to Happy Hippo

Feel Good Ghosts is one of the best albums of all time. One of those albums that you can listen to from beginning to end and be in awe the whole way through.

actually the line "we all walk around with a million faces" is a reference to an old idea that goes as far back as shakespeare's hamlet. it's the idea that we all have a different role to play for different situations, the smile we put up for the cashier in the supermarket, the tone we use when talking to a professor... all are different faces. "masks", if you will.

Acutally, in the song, both take place: everybody here is a crowd and everybody here is a cloud.
