What they lack in quantity, they make up for in a sonic prolificness, an unwillingness to be tied down to any one genre, or really any multi-hyphenate collection thereof. On their first two records for Domino, they race through grungey rock, glitchy trip-hop, twee pop, theatrical skeleton music, and plenty more besides.
With Cosplay, they show no signs of settling down, though this project has somewhat of a throughline. Its stylistic restlessness means it’s, by design, a chaotic experience, but the themes of longing and uncertainty, plus a few musical motifs, give the album a new level of cohesion.
As the title suggests, there’s a performative element to much of Sorry’s music, particularly in the vocal style of Asha Lorenz.
