Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following their massive commercial breakthrough, the Arizona-based group faced the challenge of writing without their primary songwriter, Doug Hopkins. 'Congratulations I'm Sorry' maintains their signature jangly guitars and soaring, bittersweet melodies, capturing the melancholic undercurrents of 90s alternative pop.
