Sorry – In Session for Ex-Posure with John Kennedy – Radio X – October 8, 2022 – Radio X, London –
Sorry to end the week. In session for Radio X and Ex-Posure’s John Kennedy, recorded and broadcast live on October 8, 2022.
Sorry (previously named Fish) is from North London. The band consists of the members Asha Lorenz, Louis O’Bryen, Lincoln Barrett, Campbell Baum and Marco Pini. The band’s debut studio album, 925 (2020), was released following the release of several mixtapes and singles. Sorry is signed to London-based record label Domino.
On 27 March 2020, Sorry released its debut studio album, 925. It contains the previously released singles “More”, “Right Round the Clock”, “Snakes” and “Starstruck”. Reportedly, it took four years to record and received positive reviews from music critics at its release, many of whom particularly praised the album’s cohesiveness and its innovative sound. Stereogum also called 925 album of the week on 24 March 2020. However, Kitty Empire of The Guardian gave the album a mixed review, stating that “925 packs in more than a few disruptive ideas. But Sorry haven’t yet acquired the musical vocabulary to pull them off.” The album charted on the UK Independent Albums Chart and peaked at number 13 as well as the Scottish Albums Chart, peaking at number 49. The band planned to embark on a UK headline tour to promote the album’s release, but postponed the tour dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In February 2021, Sorry announced a live album recorded at the South London Windmill Brixton venue, with proceeds going towards the venue, it having faced financial difficulties in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 12 July 2022 Sorry announced their second album Anywhere But Here out October 7 on Domino Records, alongside the release of its first single “Let the Lights On”. The album was recorded with Portishead’s Adrian Utley.
In addition to a slew of UK and European gigs, they all did a swing through the U.S., so they’re getting a visibility going. Don’t know what the plan is for 2023 but it’s a good guess it will entail more gigs. Now that COVID is pretty much past, Summer Festivals are filling up fast.
In the meantime, have a listen to this session from last year.
