In early February 2020, Duritz described the band's next project as suites of music that may be released on various [[extended play|EP]]s. The band began studio sessions in late February and early March on four songs that complete the first suite: "The Tall Grass", "Elevator Boots",<ref>{{cite web |title=Counting Crows: March 4, 2020 post |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UtH0slaAh/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/B9UtH0slaAh |archive-date=December 26, 2021 |url-access=registration |website=Instagram |access-date=4 March 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> "The Angel of 14th Street", and "Bobby and the Rat Kings".<ref>{{cite web |title=Underwater Sunshine Podcast – EPISODE 97: Live From Here!

During the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], without touring, without being able to work on music in the studio, and taking a hiatus from his podcast, Duritz began hosting cooking videos through his Instagram stories.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/counting-crows-adam-duritz-cooking-1140629/ |title=Counting Crows' Adam Duritz Has Quietly Turned His Instagram Into a Cooking Show |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=27 April 2021 |date=12 March 2021}}</ref>  Speaking with chef [[Tyler Florence]], Duritz said the type of research he would do regarding music for the podcast he turned into exploring more about food and cooking to share with others.<ref name="WolfItDown" /> Duritz and Campion would return to producing the Underwater Sunshine Podcast in May 2021.<ref name="WolfItDown" />

"Elevator Boots" was released as the first single for the four-track EP in April 2021, described by ''Rolling Stone'' as "a melodic, wistful ode to life on tour, with a sound that somehow manages to bridge the gap between the Band and Mott the Hoople."<ref name="ButterMiracleRS">{{cite web |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/counting-crows-butter-miracle-suite-2021-new-album-1161414/ |title=Exclusive: Hear Counting Crows' First New Music in Seven Years |website= RollingStone.com |access-date=27 April 2021 |date=27 April 2021}}</ref> The EP, titled ''[[Butter Miracle, Suite One]]'', was released on May 21, 2021. 

At the time, Duritz told ''Rolling Stone'' that a second EP, ''Butter Miracle, Suite Two'', would be released and together with the first form a full album. He was writing songs for the second EP, and the band planned to resume touring in the fall of 2021.<ref name="ButterMiracleRS" /> In February 2022, Duritz appeared as a guest vocalist on two tracks on [[Gang of Youths]]' third studio album ''[[Angel in Realtime]]''. Later that year, he confirmed that he had completed writing for ''Suite Two'', but that he believed that the initial songwriting was not strong enough. He decided to rewrite the songs and add an additional composition, and that recording for the follow-up could only happen once the band was done with touring.<ref name="wtts">{{Cite web |url=https://www.wttsfm.com/wtts-in-conversation-adam-duritz-of-counting-crows-2/ |title=WTTS in Conversation&nbsp;– Adam Duritz of Counting Crows |publisher=[[WTTS]] |date=2023-05-29 |accessdate=2023-05-29 |language=en-US |last=Pelsor |first=Matt}}</ref>
