Sorry For The Late Reply

PROPELLER / CAROLINE

For an album as fun and frenzied as it is, Sorry is almost surprisingly earnest. On it, Sløtface couple spry pop anthems with tales of personal grief and political angst. It shows the Norwegian trio have grown exponentially since their ’17 debut, the tracks equal measures more mature and manic. Too, the breadth of stylistic ground they cover here is beyond superlative, from the growly juts on “S.U.C.C.E.S.S.” to the soaring melodies on “Sink Or Swim”; the slick and suave licks on “Stuff” and the playful grooves of “Tap The Pack”; the clean, sober strumming on “New Year, New Me” and the punkish fretting on “Crying In Amsterdam”. Even at its weakest points, Sorry is diverse, dynamic, and danceable as hell.
