It's been ten years since their last album.The Gin Blossoms are back with "Major Lodge Victory" on Hybrid Recordings.
They still sound great to me...the jangly guitars...the soaring vocals...the quick tempos. Yeah, it's the same formula they used for their previous hits like "Follow You Down" and "Hey Jealousy," but why change when you're obviously on the right tracks?
"Major Lodge Victory" hooked me right away with the Gins great harmonies. It's like a rush of fresh cool air when you're coming inside from a hot summer day.
Danny Wilde of The Rembrandts did some mixing and producing, and has co-written several tracks, including "Fool For The Taking." What a great pairing of pop song craft masters! I've long been a Rembrandts fan. Rhino has recently released their Greatest Hits CD.
