On September 2nd 2014, Capitol Records released The Counting Crows’ seventh studio album.  Somewhere Under Wonderland, has received much respect so far.   Rollingstone magazine has rated the album as 3 out of 5 stars.  Critics have said that it’s easy to identify Adam Durvit’s voice throughout all the songs giving them that distinctive “Counting Crows” sound.  The songs are filled with lyrical stories, giving the album an overall feeling of the lyrical narratives of the band’s early 90’s music.  Helen Brown of The Daily Telegraph calls Somewhere Under Wonderland “their best collection of songs since their debut.” This album is the first release since 2008 with all new material on it. The band began to write the material for the album in early 2013 and continued through the summer as they went on tour.  Songs to note from the album include: Scarecrow and Palisades Park. The album is available through vinyl, CD, and digital download.
