August and Everything After

Counting Crows

Warm Hammond organ and raspy, confessional vocals define this 1993 debut. A masterclass in suburban melancholy and rain-slicked acoustic rock.

It's the ultimate 'sad-guy-with-an-accordion' record that somehow conquered the world.

A heavy, rain-soaked melancholy that feels as intimate as a whisper and as vast as a highway.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, desperate transition from the quiet verse to the soaring 'Step out the front door' climax in Round Here.
The stark, skeletal piano arrangement of Raining in Baltimore where Adam Duritz's voice sounds like it's about to crack.
The frantic, repetitive mantra of 'Change, change, change' that closes out A Murder of One with exhausting intensity.
