Sorry: Workin' 925

Sorry are a quiet, ambient grunge band. Or rather, they're a quiet band who play grunge loudly, before feeding everything back into an ambient loop (it's a lot less complicated than it sounds). Everything from their on-stage tendency to stand still, to their lack of inane patter between songs, and even the brevity of their press releases lends itself to this soft mystique. They're born choppers and changers.

When we sit down to interview Sorry, Asha and Louis (who share vocal and guitar duties) are in a van hightailing it across the country from Bath to Oxford, a relatively unusual couple of stops for a band on the cusp of releasing a hotly-anticipated debut album. "On this tour, we've just been playing the "lesser" towns of the UK. Smaller towns, I should say," says Louis. "It's good to get out to those places - all the people are super sweet. Tonight's sold-out too, which is encouraging." It seems fitting that a band with quieter impulses are enjoying venturing outside the usual major city tour circuit.

That hotly-anticipated debut, '925', follows a slew of singles and mixtapes, and a longstanding collaborative friendship. The songwriting partnership between Asha and Louis is clearly at the heart of the band, and they've been playing together for yonks. "Well we've known each from school, so about 12 years, and we started playing music together about seven years ago," says Louis. We ask what's held them together so long, and there's a pause before Asha deadpans, "I don't really know... We just kept playing together."
