Sorry – "Snakes"

It feels like we’ve been looking forward to Sorry’s debut album for a long time. One its highlights, “Starstruck,” came out way back in November 2018, the same year we named them a Band To Watch. The rollout really started last October, though, with the excellent “Right Round The Clock“; soon, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Star” and “More” followed, along with further details about that debut, 925. The album’s finally just about a month away, and as we get closer the band has returned with another preview.

The latest single from 925 is “Snakes,” and in a way this one also has a long history — an earlier version the song appeared on their first mixtape, Home Demo​/​ns Vol I, which came out in late 2017.

Like many Sorry’s songs, there’s a kind broken-down intricacy to “Snakes.” It begins languid and burnt, until Asha Lorenz’s vocals start to conjure the song into life, a more coherent momentum building up around her. It’s another look at the bleary world 925, and if this and Sorry’s other singles are an indication, this is going to be a hell a debut album. It also comes with a video that features, appropriately enough, a very large snake. Check it out below.
