Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2012, 'Underwater Sunshine' is the Counting Crows' first album after a four-year hiatus following 'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings'. This album marked a shift to a more stripped-down approach, featuring a mix of original songs and covers, as frontman Adam Duritz sought to reconnect with musical influences from his youth.
