Sorry Girls are a Montreal-based duo consisting of Heather Foster Kirkpatrick and Dylan Konrad Obront. Since their 2016 debut, they have evolved from a lo-fi, dream-oriented project into a sophisticated pop outfit that draws heavily from 1980s soft rock and synth-pop.
Their sound identity is defined by a 'shimmering' aesthetic, characterized by heavy use of reverb, chorus-laden guitars, and analog synthesizers. Critically, they are often grouped with the 'Montreal Sound' (alongside peers like TOPS), but they distinguish themselves through a more overt embrace of cinematic, widescreen production and a vocal style that prioritizes atmosphere over power. Their career arc shows a steady progression toward higher fidelity and more complex arrangements, moving from the skeletal 'Awesome Secrets' to the lush, expansive 'Bravo!' and 'Dreamwalker'. They occupy a cultural niche for listeners who value 'vibe' and emotional resonance, often appealing to vinyl collectors and fans of the 'sad girl' aesthetic. Their influence web includes 4AD-era dream pop and the melodic sensibilities of Fleetwood Mac, resulting in a sound that feels timeless yet distinctly modern.
