Congratulations I’m Sorry

Gin Blossoms

Polished mid-90s power pop defined by shimmering jangle-pop guitars and world-weary lyrics. The sound of a suburban sunset captured in three-minute radio hooks.

February 13, 1996 · A&M Records

A restless, shimmering melancholy that feels like a long drive toward a sunset you'll never catch.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive jangle of the opening riff in Highwire that immediately establishes the album's restless energy.
The soaring, desperate vocal harmonies during the chorus of Virginia that capture the essence of mid-90s radio rock.
The sudden, jarring fourteen-second transition of 7th Inning Stretch that breaks the polished flow of the record.
