Sorry Girls, the duo of Montreal musicians Foster Kirkpatrick and Dylan Konrad Obront, have been making dreamy but sleek DIY pop music for nearly a decade, and they've only gotten better at it. Today, they've announced plans to follow their 2023 album Bravo! with a new one called Dreamwalker. The LP's Bandcamp description says that it was inspired by '80s Fleetwood Mac records like Tusk. That's a high bar to set for yourself, but lead single "Ricochet" really has some of that gliding-on-ice feeling.
To make Dreamwalker, Sorry Girls holed up for months at Montreal's Two Sisters studios, and you can tell. "Ricochet" is all casual hooks and precisely calibrated synth-rock textures, and it has a lot of the same precise breeziness that I tend to associate with HAIM. I'm simply not used to hearing songs this lush on Bandcamp. Below, check out "Ricochet" and the Dreakwalker tracklist.
