Sorry is an innovative English indie rock band hailing from North London, comprised of talented members Asha Lorenz, Louis O’Bryen, Lincoln Barrett, Campbell Baum, and Marco Pini. The band made a significant impact on the music scene with the release of their debut studio album, 925, in March 2020. This album showcased their unique sound and artistic vision, featuring four previously released singles that garnered critical acclaim. With a Metacritic score of 79, 925 was celebrated for its cohesiveness and inventive style, earning the title of “album of the week” from Stereogum shortly after its release.
Following their debut, Sorry continued to evolve their sound and expand their reach. In July 2022, they announced their highly anticipated second album, Anywhere But Here, which was released on October 7, 2022. Collaborating with renowned producer Adrian Utley of Portishead, the band further solidified their reputation for pushing musical boundaries. The lead single, “Let the Lights On,” exemplified their ability to blend various influences, from grunge to jazz, creating a sound that defies traditional genre classifications.
Throughout their career, Sorry has demonstrated a commitment to live performance, with plans for a UK headlining tour to promote their debut album, although it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the challenges faced by the live music industry, they announced a live album recorded at the Windmill in Brixton, with proceeds supporting the venue during its financial struggles.
With a distinctive approach to songwriting, Lorenz and O’Bryen have crafted a catalog that resonates with audiences, while their dynamic live performances showcase the full range of their musical talents. Sorry continues to be a driving force in the indie rock scene, captivating listeners with their innovative sound and artistic integrity.
