Counting Crows / August and Everthing After(2LP/GF)

August and Everything After is the sound of a man standing on the edge of 30 screaming into the California night because he finally realises time only moves in one direction. Adam Duritz wrote every lyric while living in a cramped Hollywood apartment, broke, depressed, and convinced he would die young. Instead, he made the great American insomnia record: 11 songs about memory, regret, lost summers, and the terrifying certainty that the best nights of your life are already behind you.
