Sorry have announced details of their second album, ‘Anywhere But Here’ – watch the video for new song ‘Let The Lights On’ and read our interview with vocalist Asha Lorenz below.The new album follows the band’s 2020 debut ‘925’, which NME awarded five-stars upon its release in 2020, and saw them work with producer Ali Chant and Portishead’s Adrian Utley in Bristol.

Lorenz said enlisting Chant and Utley for the project was a choice made to add more of a “classic” feel to their genre-meshing sound.“We were at Ali’s studio down in Bristol, and we asked to work with them to get a more classic sound,” she explained. “We got lots of advice for them on what amps and stuff to use, because me and Louis [O’Bryen, Sorry guitarist and co-songwriter] mostly just do it at home.”The balance, Lorenz said, was to “keep the world of the songs together” and maintain their initial charm from the demos she penned with O’Bryen, while giving them some polish, provided by Chant and Utley.To achieve this balance of traditional and innovative, the band used samples during the recording process and wedged them between two more routine recordings of the band playing. “We wanted it to incorporate samples and the things we like to make from the computer, but do it in a live way,” Lorenz said. “When we’d play the songs live after we’d done the sample stuff, it sounded bigger and heavier and so we wanted to do [the recording] backwards.“We produced the song first, then we played the samples inside of the song, and then re-recorded it again,” she revealed. “It felt more together, and we did that for pretty much every song.”After the release of the album’s first taster, ‘There’s So Many People That Want To Be Loved’ last month, which Sorry described as.
