New Miserable Experience by Gin Blossoms
New Miserable Experience is an album by Gin Blossoms, released in 1992. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Until I Fall Away”, on 14 lists with a best position of #45.
New Miserable Experience, Gin Blossoms' second album and their first for a major label, came out on A&M on August 4, 1992, and for a while nobody much noticed: it arrived quietly and the reviews were lukewarm. Then, almost a year on, "Hey Jealousy" cracked the US top 40, "Found Out About You" followed it, and the Tempe, Arizona band's bright, chiming jangle pop was suddenly everywhere, the album eventually going quadruple platinum.
It's a record of sunny, ringing guitars that sits a little oddly with its gloomy title, made by Robin Wilson and Jesse Valenzuela, both singing and playing guitar, alongside guitarist Doug Hopkins, whose time in the band ended in 1992, and drummer Phillip Rhodes. "Until I Fall Away" is the one rock countdowns have kept coming back to.
