Listen to Sorry’s menacing new single ‘Waxwing’
nme.comSorry have shared an eerie new single ‘Waxwing’, check it out below.‘Waxwing’ is built around an interpolation from Toni Basil’s 1981 hit ‘Hey Mickey’, reverting the original bubblegum hook: “Hey Mickey/You’re so fine/You’re so fine you blow my mind“, to “Oh Mickey/You’re so fine/Wanna take you back to mine/Oh Mickey/You’re so fine/I’ll stay up late to make you mine.”A slightly heavier departure from their 2022 album ‘Anywhere But Here‘, the track explores themes of desire over an eerie, sci-fi-esque collection of sounds, as vocalist Asha Lorenz sings in a hushed tone: “Mickey is desire?
Mickey is the bomb? Mickey makes me money? Mickey makes my songs? Mickey makes a poem? Mickey in the drugs? Mickey is liar? Mickey making love?
Mickey is desire?”Alongside the track, the band have shared a lo-fi DIY music video directed and produced by FLASHA. Check it out below.The London indie-rock band are set to join Fontaines D.C.
on their UK and Ireland tour later this year, which includes shows in Manchester, Dublin, Leeds, Wolverhampton and two stops at London’s Alexandra Palace.
