New Miserable Experience

Gin Blossoms

Shimmering Southwestern jangle-pop that pairs radio-ready melodies with dark, alcohol-soaked lyrics of suburban desperation and lost horizons.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'sad songs that sound happy' record for a sunset drive through your hometown.

A shimmering, sun-drenched facade of power-pop that barely conceals a core of desperate, alcohol-soaked melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The opening guitar chime of Lost Horizons that immediately establishes a sense of weary Southwestern heat.
The desperate, repetitive vocal delivery of 'drunk, drunk, drunk' that undercuts the bright pop production.
The way the guitars interlock with a clean, bell-like clarity during the bridge of Hands Are Tied.
