Hailing from Cardiff in Wales, sorry stacy is the moniker of Anastassia Svets, an alternative pop artist whose unique fusion of classical piano training and self-taught production creates a kaleidoscopic journey through electronic music and experimental stylings. Anastassia’s work under the sorry stacy banner channels the nostalgic whimsy of hauntology, infused with a touch of surrealism and her curiosity for artistic expression.
A modern-day alchemist of sound, sorry stacy pairs intricate, ethereal soundscapes with samples, taking cues from Y2K internet culture, video game music and avant-garde pop acts like Kero Kero Bonito, framing her exploration of memory, fantasy and identity. First making her entrance in 2020, she released her debut single “plasticpop,” dropping a string of singles and EPs over the following couple of years.
Now, following a two-year hiatus, sorry stacy returns with new material, bringing us her latest release with the brand new single titled “B4RBI3.MP3.” This track is a genre-bending voyage that bridges dream pop, breakcore and hyperpop elements, creating a thrilling sonic ride of euphoric beats and gripping melodies.
Beneath its shimmering surface lies a poignant background, distilling the bittersweet longing to return to the innocence of childhood, following the protagonist’s attempt to revisit their past which reveals a reality tinged with disappointment. Brimming with symbolism and vivid references, the single is a love letter to the early 2000s, complete with video game-inspired synth passages.
Kicked off by the fluttering buzz of stuttered synth textures, the rattle of drums builds as a breakbeat roll ushers in sorry stacy’s glistening vocal lines, shining with bright melodies as the spacey electronic arrangement swells around her voice. Flowing with winding basslines, racing beats and a colourful array of synth timbres, the track delivers an enveloping slice of catchy hyperpop music.
With slick rhythmic switch ups and moments of floating dreaminess, “B4RBI3.MP3” lays down an incredible showcase of sorry stacy’s creativity and sound design flair via an engaging track packed full of twists and turns while stitched with infectious melodic dashes throughout. Closing with sweeping tones and a disorienting flurry of instrumentation, “B4RBI3.MP3” sees sorry stacy make her long awaited return in sensational style.
