Sorry's debut '925' - "a portrait of being young and not having much of a clue how things are ever going to level out"

London band Sorry took several years to define their sound and made it - quite undefinable. "Their official debut, '925', bears all the characteristics of hungry, wandering minds not tied to pre-established structures" - Stereogum writes in a review, and adds - "in approach and nature, '925' could only come from kids raised on the internet: run-on sentences, half-thoughts, a tendency to take a bit of everything and throw it together in unexpected and idiosyncratic ways". Generally, Sorry are "still a rock band, it’s just that they make a rock music that doesn’t follow contemporary context or logic. Theirs is an artier strain that is broken down and rebuilt over and over, constantly bristling against the confines of the form... This is the sound of rifling through debris, and the strange new things you can build with what’s worth saving".
