Sorry have announced their third album ‘Cosplay’, coinciding with the release of their whimsical new “love song” ‘Echoes’.
The London outfit will drop the album – the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Anywhere But Here’ – on November 7 via Domino.
Announcing the album in an Instagram post, the band wrote: “Another couple sides to everybody and this silly little life in 11 new sparkly songs. ‘COSPLAY’ our much anticipated golden globes winning post Brit bop funky stinky baddy jazz album out on 7th of November.
“Our love song echoes out now on all easiest available to listen to music platforms 🩵… Keep rockin in the free world. xxxx stay golden.”
Their new single is a quirky ode to pledging someone your love. “Try to light a spark for the naked angel in my heart/Cross my heart and pray/I hope you find it one day/Honey, what did you say?/I said, ‘I love you’,” sings Asha Lorenz.

The new single follows their standalone release ‘Jetplane’ from earlier this year, which in turn followed their single ‘Waxwing’, shared at the end of 2024.
Sorry’s last album ‘Anywhere But Here’ was released in 2022. In a four-star review, NME shared: “‘Anywhere But Here’ might feel heavy-hearted, and a sliver of Sorry’s edge might have been diluted in their bid for accessibility. But, at its core, the record continues the thing that made them so exciting in the first place – chaotic, brilliant curveballs that capture the confusion and commotion of life right now.”
Ahead of the release of the LP, the band hinted about what was coming next in an interview with NME. “We have some ideas about the future, and me and Louis have been recording lots of other shit, both together and separately,” Lorenz said.
“I think we’re going to put some more stuff out quite quickly, but we’re also looking to make some more stripped-back [music], going back to how we worked before, producing it ourselves and getting a great mixer in or something.”
Following a UK tour earlier this year, Sorry provided one of the highlights of this summer’s Glastonbury. Reviewing their set, NME wrote: ““Who the fuck is Sorry?” read the screen at the back of Woodsies as the north London band took to the stage on Saturday afternoon. Over the next 45 minutes, they detailed their identity very clearly – a spiky, unpredictable band making some of the most interesting indie music in the UK right now.
“Recent single ‘Jive’ opened proceedings, veering from stripped-back verses to crunching, crispy beat-driven breakdowns, while the careening ‘Let The Lights On’ showed the band’s tender side without compromising on the haphazard feeling of their music.”
