Having returned with a new single, “I Am a Force Field,” back in May, Cloud Cult have now announced a new album. Alchemy Creek is due out on August 8 via Earthology Records, and it was written, recorded, and produced by frontman Craig Minowa in a cabin in the middle of the woods in Wisconsin, following a divorce. “While the world around me felt wildly out of my control, I needed music that could remind me that the one thing I do have control of is my perspective, which, in turn, gives me back control of my world,” Minowa says, continuing, “All of the songs on the record are connected together to present one nonstop story, and I want the listener to feel like they are sitting there by the creek watching the whole album unfold. Providing a sense of place in this album was paramount.”
They’ve shared a new single, rousing chamber pop track “The Universe Woke Up As You,” and you can watch the accompanying video, directed by Chad Amour, below.
The band will be on tour starting later this summer, including an NYC show at Le Poisson Rouge on August 29. See all dates below.
