Brooklyn psychedelic-rock duo SORRYNOTSORRY has released its boldest and most vulnerable work to date with The Other Side, an 11-track album that delves deep into rebirth, healing, and human transformation. Built on immersive soundscapes and raw emotional storytelling, the record positions the band as one of New York’s most compelling underground voices forward-thinking, spiritually charged, and unafraid to confront the darker rooms of the mind.
Formed in Brooklyn by Venezuelan multi-instrumentalists Samantha Dagnino and Andrés Cottin, SORRYNOTSORRY is the result of chance, timing, and chemistry. What began as a casual jam session in Long Island City evolved into a partnership rooted in shared history and shared wounds. Both artists arrived at a moment of personal fracture Dagnino returning to music after an eight-year hiatus, and Cottin searching for a new purpose and direction. Instead of retreating, they made art. The process became a rebuilding. The band became the lifeline.
The Other Side captures that metamorphosis. From the opening track “New Ground” to the hypnotic pulse of “Foggy Like a Bladerunner” and the aching shadows of “Disappear,” the record plays like a cinematic arc a climb out of emotional wreckage toward clarity, connection, and spiritual resolve. Tracks such as “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs” lean into mantra-like repetition, while “Aum Hai (Light & Dark)” explores duality through brooding electronics and vocal incantation. The duo moves fluidly between psychedelic rock, trip-hop, ambient textures, and weightless dream-pop, crafting a sonic language that nods to Radiohead, Portishead, Tame Impala, and Khruangbin without ever imitating them.
What defines this album most is not its genre, but its intention. These songs are born from crisis, devotion, and the radical act of choosing love when life tries to break you apart. The universe tried to separate us, again and again, the band has shared. The Other Side became their rebuttal an album written as resistance, as vow, as a renewal. There is heaviness here, but never hopelessness. Even the darkest arrangements carry a thread of compassion and release.
Mixed by Cottin and mastered by Zach Kornhauser (Portugal. The Man, Sia, Kelly Clarkson), the record maintains a warm analog depth that pairs beautifully with its emotional weight. Visual direction by photographer Joaquin Broughton extends the album’s cinematic identity, while drummer Max Yassky brings pulse and movement to select tracks. It’s an album for listeners in transition, for anyone shedding the past, for anyone who has ever crawled through collapse to find themselves on steadier ground.
With this release, the duo is not just sharing songs; they’re sharing a survival story. The Other Side is proof that some storms don’t end you. Some storms introduce you to who you’re meant to be.
