Yes – it Eggstravaganza once more, the annual ritual of chocolate ovoid consumption – with perhaps an excursion into chocolate bunnies.
Video: Counting Crows “Uner the Aurora”

1 week ago | americana-uk.com | Ed Donnelly |Marc Cohn |Jools Holland |Gladys Knight

Counting Crows continue their long running streak of solid, brilliantly written songs with ‘Under the Aurora’. From the very first words spilling from Adam Durtiz’s mouth, this is unmistakably a Counting Crows track. There is comfort in the fact that while they have striven to always create thoughtful songs, they have not strayed from their signature sound without ever feeling repetitive.

For those not familiar with the platform it’s a bit like Twitter was once upon a time before the Space Nazi car assembler took over and is largely non toxic and welcoming.
