Being a Counting Crows fan requires the kind of patience usually possessed by a Jedi Master. With only six original studio albums since 1993, and a meagre three this side of the millennium, you’ll never see the band described as prolific. As such, this four song EP sounds like a frustratingly sparse offering after a seven year wait, but its stellar contents speak volumes about why the group only make music when the time is right.
The whole Counting Crows machine is very much beholden to the trusty, albeit stubbornly unhurried, muse of their enigmatic singer and songwriter Adam Duritz. That said, considering ‘Butter Miracle, Suite One’ clocks in just shy of 20 minutes, even the most resolute of followers might be tempted to give him a kick up the backside.
