Unplug showcases Cloud Cult's material amassed from their nine album discography in a raw and intimate setting and with a fully acoustic sound. The album consists of 17 cuts recorded over three evenings last year (December 6-8) at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. The arrangements feature a heavy emphasis on a deep, warm string section paired with gang vocals/harmonies. Many of the songs serve as an avenue for frontman Craig Minowa to perform stripped down versions of his songs, supported by the depth of his band - with 7 other voices and 11 other instruments, he has all the help he needs.
