Minnesota-based art-rockers Cloud Cult have principles. Since musician/environmentalist Craig Minowa founded the band in 1995, the Cult have scorned lucrative record deals in favor of their own not-for-profit label, released albums made entirely from recycled materials, and even planted thousands of trees to offset their carbon footprint. But Dave Matthews Band they're not: the band's propensity for baroque balladry, sweeping strings, and rich choral arrangements is more in line with Arcade Fire's pathos-drenched anthems or the Polyphonic Spree's many-membered chamber pop. Tonight, the septet — with eco-friendly pamphlets, video backdrop, and live painters in tow — performs tracks from its sixth LP, Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying through Tornados).
