Cloud Cult, the fiercely independent rock band out of Minneapolis known for their intricate and swirling arrangements, has recorded a live acoustic album. And it's just as powerful as their studio albums.

'Unplug' comes out April 15. It was recorded at a sold-out Southern Theater in their hometown last December, and features 17 reimagined versions of band's songs. Today, we're premiering the unplugged version of 'Chemicals Collide,' originally from Cloud Cult's 2007 album 'The Meaning Of 8.'

"The versions of these songs are so different from the Cloud Cult studio recording originals, and it's because we worked on many of these totally unplugged in the woods, or down by the creek or around the campfire," says the band.

"Our typical electric show is very dependent on technology, with multiple computers running and a spaghetti explosion of wires quietly hidden between instruments and easels. That obviously has it's own benefits, but it's fun to think that even if the power grid went down, we'd be able to pull of this new set in your living room."

Cloud Cult in your living room? That would be amazing. Until that happens we will have 'Unplug.' Pre-order on the band's website.
