Econo Culture | A Cloud Cult Interview from Tonic

Econo Culture is a new online music magazine. One of their first features is an interview with Cloud Cult that went down live at BMJ.

Do you guys like playing in New York? Do you like New York?

Dan: It’s a big city. Like, overwhelming a bit. We think Minneapolis is big, and you get here, and Minneapolis seems tiny. I think it’s exciting, though. I had never been in New York until June when we first played here. And it’s cool to actually see it. Also, it’s hard to get attention anywhere, but especially here, and it’s really nice to get it here, and maybe it means more than in, like, Gary, Indiana or something. I don’t know. What do you think?

Craig Minowa: Yeah, it’s a mystical kind of city. You see it in the movies all the time. And to come here and have people know you and bob their head when you’re playing and know lyrics and stuff is nuts. Insane. It’s pretty mellow where we come from, and everybody in the band is just overstimulated here – like, “wow, there’s all this noise, and lights everywhere.” It’s beautiful.
