North London’s Sorry crashed a few Best Albums of the Year lists in 2020 with the release of their debut album ‘925’ – a playful mix of indie, jazz, pop and sass. They claim that for this release they’re paying homage to classic songwriters of the 1970s, such as Carly Simon and Randy Newman, but they’re coming at their influences from an oblique angle. This is guitar-based, lo-fi stuff, but packed with interest and Asha’s vocals mix plenty of grit among the sugar. One to live with for a while, and then to cherish. DP

Released 7 October on Domino Records
