Counting Crows have confirmed their first album in over 4 years, 'Underwater Sunshine' will be released on 9th April.
Produced by Counting Crows and Shawn Dealey, 'Underwater Sunshine' features a collection of songs, both familiar and obscure, interpreted by the band. 'Underwater Sunshine' is a testament of a band geek-obsessed with music: “There’s a million great songs written every day that you discover, and wish your friends could appreciate as much as you do,” says singer-songwriter Adam Duritz. “These songs come from bands young and old, stretching from the early 60s to last year. They’re all great and will hopefully be heard by a few more people now.”
'Underwater Sunshine' is the first album on the band's own label and will be distributed by Cooking Vinyl. The Crows also gave their fans the opportunity to design their new album package. Just as the band is interpreting songs from others, fans became a part of this unique album by visually interpreting the Crows.
The winning designer is working with the band’s creative director to develop the rest of the album layout. The contest was ran by Creative Allies, and is proving to be their most successful contest to date. To find out more, Click Here.
