Duritz and Jones had previously worked together when they recorded on tracks that appeared on the Sordid Humor album Light Music for Dying People.

[1] During this time Duritz and Bryson were performing as an acoustic duo at open mic nights and calling themselves Counting Crows prior to the formation of the full band.

The album, She Likes the Weather, contains a mixture of original Himalayans songs recorded in the studio, snippets from radio interviews with the members and one live track.

Once it was pretty clear that we were getting signed as Counting Crows, it wasn’t possible to do both anymore.”[6] In 2022, the band digitally remastered their catalog and released two albums and an EP to online streaming services.

Also in 2022, the group discovered a remarkable 4-track recording from the Himalayans’ early days that fully captures the sense of exploration and excitement that was in the air at the time.

The 4-track album, recorded at the band's South of Market rehearsal space by Dave Janusko, features the original four-piece and was remastered and released on streaming platforms as Harrison Street 4-Track Sessions.
