Looks like it's happening!
Butter Miracle Suite One to be released May 21st, 2021!

Counting Crows – Butter Miracle Suite One (LP) (21.05.2021)

There's a couple other sites that pop up on Google, but the pages aren't live yet.

 

Yessssss

Suite One?

Is this a 2 part deal ?

 

That’s a bad album title/cover. But I’m game for new Crows!

 

Agree that the title is bad but i kinda like the art? has a very retro surrealist feel that i think fits them. They love to put things on people's heads for their covers for some reason.

Also, that "suite one" designation is very intriguing.

 

No kidding. Definitely not getting it on vinyl or anything, but I'm always hyped for anything new from them!

 

Looks like it may be an EP given the title as well as the fact that the vinyl is apparently a 12".

 

Adam said before that it's four songs that flow into one another.

 

Only 4 songs, that is a little disappointing.

 

It definitely has a This Desert Life vibe. (Speaking of which: fucking repress Desert Life and Hard Candy for god's sake!)

That site does say "album," so I'd be surprised if it's just a four-song EP.

 

Let’s go!

 

I like the song, disappointed to hear that this is in fact just a four-song EP. Cool that the vinyl includes "August & Everything After" on the b-side, though.

 

I'll be honest: been kind of tough being a fan of this band over the past 18-ish years with how sparse their output has been. Wish they made more music.

 

Song's great. Also, pertinent information from this Rolling Stone piece:

"The song suite will eventually be the first half of a full Counting Crows album, with another suite filling the second half. 'I’m writing the second one now,' Duritz says."

 

Hopefully he's in a faster writing mode right now than he's been in since 2008...

 

“song suite”

 

Counting Crows and 3EB are two great bands from that era who have put out a LOT less music than one would have hoped in the last 20 years.

 

Wallflowers too. It’s been a weird run from a lot of those types of bands.

 

I just found an old (and unknown to me) Wallflowers B-Side called "Just One Breath Away" on Itunes and it's terrific. Happy day.

Rebel, Sweetheart era was underrated.

 

This is pretty great! Love Angel of 14th Street especially. Last minute or so could be straight from Recovering the Satellites.

 

That’s my favourite too! So nice to hear Adam’s voice like that again, singing those big melodies. The whole album is great, it’ll be really rewarding to dig into :)

 

Always good to have a reminder what absurdly talented musicians they have in this band.

 

Sounds like they are about to announce a tour. Wonder who with? Kinda thinking Wallflowers would make sense

 

Cities and dates are already on their website, but no mention of anyone else.

 

Also, am I the only one who was expecting the songs to actually flow directly into each other as opposed to how it is where you get an ending, silence, and then beginning of the next song? It’s not really a complaint because I enjoy it quite a bit, but that aspect seemed to be built up in an odd manner for how it was delivered.
