Today (Tues, Aug 12th 2025), multi-disciplinary group Sorry have announced their new album COSPLAY which is set for release on November 7 via Domino. COSPLAY meticulously erases and redraws the parameters that Sorry have set throughout their career. It is a world where anyone can be anyone, past or present, real or imaginary, dead or alive; it is the album that frees Sorry from their shackles. The band have shared new song “Echoes” alongside a video by FLASHA Prod. The album will be available on CD, black vinyl, red vinyl (indie record store edition) and a special Dinked edition (white vinyl, signed A2 poster, sticker shoot designed by Sorry).

COSPLAY is the culmination of Sorry’s anything goes approach, a dizzying whirlwind of ideas, disguises and subterfuge distilled into the most thrilling and heartfelt album of their career. The album follows their 2022 record Anywhere But Here and 2020’s debut album 925. The band road tested the new material on their own recent UK headline tour and a support tour with Fontaines D.C. 

The overlapping worlds of COSPLAY are the next logical step for Sorry, a band that has always defied that very notion. The group recorded the album with a number of collaborators across multiple studios, adding to the diverse feel of COSPLAY.

“Echoes” is a key moment on the album, inspired by a poem about the story of a boy shouting echo into a tunnel waiting for his reply. Sorry then ran with this idea, and it became a song about losing yourself in love and “echo” becoming a third person in the middle. You can’t tell if it’s them or you. 

The hook is delivered like a mantra to live and die by, backed by some of the band’s most beautiful songwriting to date. It marks a clear progression for the band, with overlapping references coalescing into one succinct, poignant moment. 

Sorry’s Asha Lorenz says: “Meet me at the butterfly sanctuary. Echo.” 

The song follows previous tracks “Waxwing” and “Jetplane”, both of which appear on the record and received critical acclaim for the band’s fearless approach to blurring boundaries. This continues in earnest on COSPLAY an album where a Guided By Voices track is reimagined into a song about celebrity seediness, the world’s most recognisable cartoon character becomes a shadowy figure in a siren song and theoretical physics becomes a heavy hitting rock song. 

“We died when we started writing this album,” say Sorry. But if Sorry did, indeed, die before a note had been recorded, before a single word had even been jotted down, who the hell are this bunch now masquerading as Sorry? Who has donned the Sorry outfits so convincingly? Who is it that has recorded COSPLAY, this album that first meticulously erases and then extravagantly redraws the perimeters of what a contemporary rock’n’roll band can achieve? Welcome to the world of COSPLAY, where anyone can be anyone, past or present, real or imaginary, dead or alive.

The band are set to support The Maccabees on their UK and Irish tour as well as performing at All Points East on August 24. Stay tuned for more news.
