Having delivered some of the world’s most beloved rock songs, from “Mr Jones” and “Round Here”, to their cover of “Big Yellow Taxi” and the Shrek movie/soundtrack hit, “Accidentally in Love”, Counting Crows returned earlier this year to drop an album of new material, Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! featuring single “Spaceman In Tulsa”.
Counting Crows exploded onto the music scene in 1993 with their multi-platinum breakout album, August and Everything After. Since then, 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.
In October 1996, the band’s double-platinum sophomore studio album, Recovering the Satellites, debuted at number one and further solidified their growing reputation as one of the leading American alternative rock bands in the world. A follow-up to their early success, Counting Crows went on to release This Desert Life (1999), Hard Candy (2002), Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (2008), Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation) (2012), Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow (2013), and Somewhere Under Wonderland (2014).
In 2004, Counting Crows recorded the chart-topping “Accidentally in Love” for the animated motion picture Shrek 2. The instant success of the track earned them an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 2005 Academy Awards, a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song, and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
In 2021, Counting Crows ranked #8 on Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time: Adult Alternative Artists” 25th-anniversary chart.
After seven years, Adam Duritz and Counting Crows released Butter Miracle: Suite One in May 2021 to rave reviews. The band also kicked off their first tour since 2018, “The Butter Miracle Tour,” from 2021 through 2023, with sell-out performances across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. In May this year, the band released an album of new material, Butter Miracle: The Complete Sweets!
Into The Black sees Missing Words diving into a darker, synth-driven territory, blending retro aesthetics with a more modern, cinematic edge. Pulsing electronics and moody textures create a sense of tension, while the vocals carry a brooding, introspective tone that anchors the track emotionally. The band balances atmosphere and momentum well, letting the track build without losing its melodic core. There’s a strong retro qave feel throughout, but Into The Black avoids feeling nostalgic for its own sake, instead shaping a sleek, immersive sound that leans into mood, depth, and late-night intensity.
