It’s a truly special debut, one that makes strange magic at every turn.
It’s a thrilling and thoroughly modern album that manages to be experimental, dangerous, swaggering, unique, and also hugely accessible.
Their chameleonic approach is never garish, with strong songs being the main takeaway and all the experiments with production and style just the weird icing on the cake.
Sorry is exactly the shot in the arm that indie-rock has been missing lately – a fearless band that has set out to make its mark on the new decade, and with 925, already has.
An authentic and contemporary guitar sound, ‘925’ is a snappy and raw blend that bounces the listener into the more unexpected edges of the imagination.
On 925, Sorry lovingly poke fun at themselves and at rock history—but they also prove they’ve got the talent to go further than their gags.
925 is a cohesive, enjoyable, drug-infused debut about two longtime friends trying to make sense of being young in a dreary world.
925’s most hedonistic narratives might be cause for condemnation, but let’s not cancel Sorry yet—the album’s more grounded poems suggest that the band are perceptive enough to render their loftiest tales with scorn.
925 packs in more than a few disruptive ideas. But Sorry haven’t yet acquired the musical vocabulary to pull them off.
925 is a largely amorphous mass lacking in personality. Luckily, Sorry offer enough promise that forgiveness should be easy.
925 is another example that post-punk and noise rock are still going strong, without showing any signs of fatigue. It's not new, it's been years now that bands/artists can their energies generally in the 80/90's, simply because they are mostly children. The duo Sorry has been building little by little and seems to have been thinking about their album since the end of 2017, today we are lucky to have the final result.
First of all I appreciate and find really interesting the weird universe and ... read more
As I'm listening to this I realize just how hard it is to box in this debut by Sorry. Is it post-punk? Indie rock? Grunge? Shoegaze? Dream pop? Punk?
That's the magic. It's nothing. Sorry doesn't care what they are, and neither should you.
London-based Sorry come through on their debut with a complete lax energy, as lead singer Asha Lorenz sings as if she's filing her nails the whole time, and backing vocalist Louis O’Bryen is just laying down. It's this cynical and disregarded outlook ... read more
953..? God I need to get black midi out my my head for one fucking second jeezums
After loving their new record, Anywhere But Here, I wanted to come back to see what this album was about. Overall it’s pretty good, but I’m not super blown away. I like some tracks a lot more than others. Starstruck is amazing, and More, Right Around The Clock, and Lies are bangers. I don’t really see myself returning to this as much though. I think the follow up just has a bit more charm and ... read more
On my first listen I rly liked most of the songs, but after a few more listens I find myself disliking just as many as I like. The vocals are good and the production sounds cool but I feel like they have potential for something much better than this
Favourite songs: Snake, As the Sun Sets, Lies
the epitome of what i would consider anti-pop, the crunchy dissonance of the chords is great
