THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Following the 2021 release of Adam Duritz and Counting Crows’ Butter Miracle, Suite One, comes the long-awaited full album Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! It consists of the four tracks from Suite One plus five new tracks.
The new record blends intimate storytelling with grand, evocative themes, a signature of the band’s deeply revered catalog. Duritz’s powerful vocal performance is paired with the band’s signature mix of rock, folk, and alternative influences, delivering a fresh yet familiar sound that long-time fans will love.
Leading the charge into this new era is first single Spaceman In Tulsa, a song that seamlessly merges Counting Crows’ classic sound with a renewed energy. “Spaceman In Tulsa is about metamorphosis — the way music breaks down who we were and spins us into something new. It’s about broken lives becoming something better,” shares Duritz.
Following the emotional depth of Spaceman In Tulsa, Under The Aurora continues the band’s rich legacy of sweeping soundscapes and storytelling. The song captures a moment of solitude and reflection beneath nature’s most mysterious light show — a haunting yet hopeful meditation on escape, longing, and the wonder of the world above us.
Produced with the band’s signature blend of folk-infused instrumentation and lush, layered melodies, Under The Aurora delivers a cinematic experience that underscores Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! as a full-circle evolution of the band’s sound.
For more than two decades, the Grammy and Oscar-nominated Counting Crows have enchanted listeners worldwide with their intensely soulful and intricate take on timeless rock n’ roll. Exploding onto the scene in 1993 with their multiplatinum breakout album, August and Everything After, the band has gone on to release seven studio albums, selling more than 20 million records worldwide, and is revered as one of the world’s most pre-eminent live touring rock bands.”
