Sorry announce second album with lead single "Let The Lights On"
Sorry have announced their upcoming second album Anywhere But Here, and have shared new cut "Let The Lights On" to accompany the news.
"Let The Lights On" is the second outing from Sorry's Anywhere But Here album, following April's "There's So Many People That Want To Be Loved", and lands with a MILTON & FLASHA-directed video.
Sorry said of the single, "It’s a fun love song for the club. A bittersweet track for us. It kinda touches on how you want to be honest and say things directly, but in the end that can also ruin them. If you’ve got a light don’t let it go out… sometimes you have to leave things behind but it’s hard to do. We tried to make it a bit ironic by saying things very plainly and direct. It’s the last song we wrote from the album and came out of us trying to find something more upbeat for the album. It started off as a dancey song with driving bass and drums and became more poppy when we played it with the band and recorded it."
Anywhere But Here will follow the band's 2020 debut album 925, and was produced by Sorry's Louis O’Bryen and Asha Lorenz, as well as Ali Chant and Portishead’s Adrian Utley in Bristol.
Lorenz adds of the album, "Anywhere But Here! We approached the album differently from the first one, it was more of a live band process and the outcome has made it feel rawer and more sincere… we think. We wanted every song to have its own gravity but also have little snippets, or lyrical patterns that repeat, grow - metamorphosis. Everyone started to feel a bit alien in the last couple years with all that’s happened. It’s kind of weird being from London, growing up here, like anyone who’s been in the same place for ages. How all the landmarks, places, even people are the same, but it still feels different. I think we want things to change, or we think they will, but it kind of just happens again but in a different way. That sound is kind of the sound I imagine when you moan or cum or deep cry – it’s like rebirth. It’s the shedding of a skin."
