Sorry return with their third album, COSPLAY (out November 7 on Domino), a bold reinvention that pushes the limits of contemporary rock. Written with the idea that “we died when we started writing this album,” COSPLAY is about transformation, identity, and play — erasing boundaries and reconstructing them with fearless creativity.
Across 11 tracks, Sorry weave together decades of musical influence — from lo-fi scuzz to alt-pop and heavy rock — while infusing cultural references and philosophical musings. Highlights include “Waxwing”, a dark siren song imagining Mickey Mouse in the shadows; “Jetplane”, a twitchy take on celebrity sleaze; and “JIVE”, a pounding synth-driven anthem that became the blueprint for the record. Other standouts like “Echoes”, “Today Might Be The Hit”, and “Life In This Body” balance urgency with introspection, exploring themes of identity, impermanence, and self-expression.
Produced with Dan Carey and mixed by Neal H. Pogue and Marta Salogni, COSPLAY is layered with samples, sonic quirks, and unexpected textures, creating a record that is immediate yet full of hidden details. Visually, Sorry extend this ethos through surreal, symbol-flipping videos directed by Asha Lorenz and Flo Webb (as FLASHA).
Fresh from supporting Fontaines D.C. on their arena tour and playing Glastonbury, Sorry are stepping into their most ambitious era yet — one that is as theatrical, eclectic, and thought-provoking as the album’s title suggests.
Sorry are dead. Long live Sorry.
