Mixed Reality is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms.

The band's longtime producer John Hampton died in 2014 and while they toured to promote the 25th anniversary of their most successful album, New Miserable Experience, the band members met Don Dixon at a show in Ohio.

The band spent about a year writing songs and doing demos before recording the album.

Wilson calls Mixed Reality "sort of a companion" to New Miserable Experience and says, "It feels to me like a record we would have all wanted to make when we were 25.

"[2] The band released "Break" as a lead single[3] and followed the release with a tour that was documented on their Chicago date, where they played this album and New Miserable Experience in their entirety.
