Shimmering, eighties-tinted synth-pop that feels like a long-lost memory. Wistful melodies and lush textures for late-night reflection.
Sorry Girls create a world that feels both deeply familiar and tantalizingly out of reach. Their sound is a masterclass in 'sophisti-pop' revivalism, blending the polished sheen of 1980s FM radio with the intimate, DIY spirit of the Montreal indie scene. It is music that occupies the space between a sigh and a dance, where every synth swell feels like a warm embrace and every guitar lick carries a hint of heartbreak.
What truly sets them apart is the interplay between Heather Foster Kirkpatrick’s breathy, ethereal vocals and Dylan Konrad Obront’s meticulous, analog-heavy production. They avoid the coldness of modern digital pop by leaning into textures that feel tactile: the hiss of a tape, the wobble of a chorus pedal, and the steady, heartbeat-like thrum of a vintage drum machine. It is a sound that is pleasure-seeking but never shallow, finding profound emotional weight in the aesthetics of the past.
Start with their 2019 album 'Deborah' to hear them at their most evocative. It captures the duo's transition from eerie bedroom experiments into full-blown pop architects. It is the perfect companion for those moments when you want to feel a little bit sad and a little bit glamorous all at once.
