<\/div>\n

I\u2019m sorry for anyone who missed Sorry<\/a><\/strong> this Tuesday at The Cookie<\/a>. They\u2019re the hottest femme-fatale available, here to steal your hearts.<\/p>\n

In the whole political and f*ck Brexit trend in the British alternative scene, Sorry, in a truly The Velvet Undergroundesque style, are just not bothered. Instead of commenting on re-heated dramas, they blow a cheeky kiss and shed a single tear as a response. It\u2019s not that they\u2019re ignorant. They\u2019ve got better things to talk about.<\/p>\n

With Mad World<\/em> as an intro, they get on with their Tears For Fears inspired ode to fame, Right Round The Clock<\/em>. A little silly and very flamboyant. A perfect single. \u2018The dreams in which we’re famous are the best I’ve ever had,\u2019 sang in Asha’s silky smooth voice.<\/p>\n

If not for a few lads at the front (thanks for being rowdy af), you could forget you\u2019re at the show and got sucked into Sorry\u2019s kind of soft Lynch-like fantasy. Rarely you can see a show so coherent, so whole. It\u2019s not only that instrumental and Asha\u2019s vocals seem to play in some holy harmony. Treatment of the set, with studio samples and voiceovers in between songs, like a complete piece of art, compelling.<\/p>\n

With 925<\/em> debut album coming this Spring on Domino Recording Co., naturally, they filled the show with previously unreleased tunes (Snakes<\/em> and In Unison<\/em>, can\u2019t wait to put 925<\/em> on the endless loop in my playlist), a new single More<\/em> (seriously sick) and a mix of older but still golden tracks. Showgirl<\/em> sounded live as dazzling as I imagined her to.
\nSorry are decadents who play fuzzy grunge for our generation\u2019s neo-romantics. They\u2019re re-inventing the new decade\u2019s attitude so you can have it both ways. Frown on your broken heart while chain-smoking weed or stay up all night, preferably with a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll star. Either way, no need to be sorry. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
