Cloud Cult's "Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus" is an epic album of 25 songs. It hit the college radio charts in 2005 at #3 (Most Adds) just under White Stripes and Coldplay. 

Pitchfork Media called it "Insane genius... Like The Moon & Antarctica, Odelay, or the Radiohead masterpiece of your choice, Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus is utterly over the top..."

According to Pop Matters (Chicago,IL), this album is epic in both themes and sound. Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus, quite frankly, flirts with genius..."

Intro

Happy Hippo

Hailed as one of the Top 10 green bands by Rollingstone, Cloud Cult has an 11 album history of bucking the mainstream music industry in favor of releasing their music under their own terms and under their own environmental record label (Earthology Records). Lauded by critics as "insane genius" (Pitchfork) and "an invocation of the lifeforce" (NY Times), Cloud Cult's philosophical lyrics and alternative-orchestral-folk-rock sound have gained the band a staunch following of listeners in what has become the band's own unique genre of "Self-Help Rock". Cloud Cult, also known for incorporating live art into its concerts, began as Craig Minowa's solo studio project after the unexpected loss of his son and has grown to the present day with an evolving lineup of musicians.
