Sorry – JIVE

Sorry deliver ‘JIVE’, a track that has spent two years evolving in their live sets before finally receiving its studio incarnation. The London duo present what they describe as “a dance between choices”.

Asha Lorenz’s vocals traverse emotional territories that span loneliness and desire with the energy that suggests someone searching for an exit that keeps moving. Her delivery anchors a production that unexpectedly shifts from measured restraint to full-blown intensity. Digital squalls collide with churning guitars, creating sonic friction that mirrors the track’s thematic tensions.

Sorry’s approach to instrumentation reflects their reputation for unpredictability. The arrangement moves through phases of intensity like someone cycling through emotional states during a particularly overwhelming day. Layers accumulate and retreat, creating space for moments of clarity within the chaos. Their digital elements add textural complexity without overwhelming the essential guitar-driven foundation.

The band’s cryptic statement about the track reads like stream-of-consciousness poetry, mixing colors, textures, and abstract imagery into something that resists literal interpretation. Their description suggests choice as both burden and liberation – the endless decisions that shape daily existence and the weight of agency in an uncertain world.

‘JIVE’ continues Sorry’s remarkable run of singles that have consistently reached BBC 6 Music’s B-List, demonstrating their ability to create music that challenges without alienating. As they prepare for their return to Glastonbury’s Woodsies Stage, this latest offering confirms their position among Britain’s most inventive guitar acts.
