The Sorry Window (our new album) is now OPEN and you can listen to it across streaming services everywhere.

We really hope you like it, much of it is about the struggle between ambition and self doubt, which ironically is probably also why it took us so long to finish it.

PS all Bandcamp pre-orderers are going to be sent a special surprise a bit later today via email!

Next Big Thing, our new single is out today! Am I rapping? Am I screaming? I’m not quite sure but we hope you like it!!

Please stream as much as possible to help trick the algorithms into thinking we are the next big thing, despite the song’s lyrics revealing some of the challenges that may prevent this from being the case.

Streaming links via the link in bio / stories. The music video will be on YouTube at 10am BST

Our new album (The Sorry Window) is out on May 1st and this is the final track we’ll be sharing ahead of its release.

It’s now been two weeks since we released our new album, and I (Jen) got the chance to virtually sit down with @d0m_sm1th and @soundspheremag magazine to talk all about all of the twists and turns and the entire journey towards making it. Plus what we’re hoping could maybe happen next.

Check it out via the link in our stories! X

Seeing as we shared a live version of Falling Apart Forever yesterday, here’s some info about the song and studio version.

#songwriting #alternativerock #newmusic

Check out our practice room version of Falling Apart Forever (which got the most votes when we asked which song you wanted to see live the other day!), a version with more camera angles will also be out very shortly over on Youtube also.

FYI, Chris originally wrote this drum part and played it on the version you hear on the album (which we recorded waaayyy back during the Brainfreeze sessions!), so here I am doing my best Chris impression which I hope is up to scratch.

Hope you like it, let us know what you want to see next and keep your eyes peeled for more live stuff of all kinds very soon… maybe 👀

Just found out that The Sorry Window is number 52 in the official UK download chart! Which is something we never thought could be possible (hence why we only just found out), and especially amazing as we’ve never been in the chart before. Thanks everyone for making our dreams come true!!!! 🥹

The Sorry Window has been out for an entire week!

To say we’ve been surprised by the response to our DIY release is a huge understatement. Seeing people listen to it, share it, buy it, say nice things about the songs and videos, or discover the band for the first time over the last couple of weeks has been absolutely incredible, and we want to say a massive thank you - especially to everyone who has stuck with us over the last five or so years of us trying to get to this point.

We said that if there was any demand for more following the album, then we’d do our best to make it happen.. We still have a bunch of live stuff from the album to put out, and we’ll be sending out the vinyl in a few weeks, but do keep your eyes peeled for new things hopefully being announced in the future too :) x

Here is a bit about Narrow, the first track on our new album which we shared a music video from yesterday!! x

Surprise, here is a music video for ‘Narrow’, the first song on our new album The Sorry Window (find the link via YouTube / in our stories!)

I filmed it on my own (apart from the moving shot towards the end) it back in 2021 during the earlier stages of the recording of our album, when I was working a lot on my own remotely with our producer Luke. I’d imagined it originally as the first thing we would share from the record when it was finally finished, which is probably why there’s a window that opens at the beginning haha.

In the end it didn’t quite make sense to release things in that order, but I hope this gives you a bit of insight into the vibe of the making of the album!

We hope you’re enjoying The Sorry Window, thanks for all of the very kind words!

Track Guide: False Advertising (@falseads) - The Sorry Window

Six years in the making. False Advertising’s second album ‘The Sorry Window’ is finally here.

What started as EP ideas in early 2020 was derailed by COVID before eventually evolving into something far bigger. Built from isolated home demos by lead songwriter Jen Hingley and bassist Josh Sellers, and shaped with producer Luke Pickering, the Manchester duo have delivered a record of real sonic and emotional depth.

From the gritty fuzz of ‘Don’t Ask Me’ to the hook-laden ‘Acid Rain’ and the sharp indie punch of the title track, it’s a dynamic listen. Honest, introspective, and addictive, Hingley’s writing tackles anxiety, ambition, and self-doubt head-on.

Jen was kind enough to break down every track for us. Hit the link in bio to read the full guide.
