For the first time ever, Cloud Cult is issuing its first two records on a national level. 2003′s They Live on the Sun and 2004′s Aurora Borealis have been remixed, remastered and bonus tracks have been added. 
The albums were originally the band’s homemade recordings at singer Craig Minowa‘s family farm. He wrote them based on his self-enforced seclusion after his son unexpectedly passed away. Despite the lo-fi local release, the band’s music quickly got them national attention and they even overtook Radiohead on college radio charts.
Now the albums are being released nationally in special green packaging: 100 percent recycled, printed with soy ink and mastered with wind energy power. In addition to the packaging, the band has planted a thousand trees to absorb pollutants from the release and touring.
Listen to a few of the tracks here and if you like what you hear, buy the double disc here.
