Sondre Lerche

Add Date: May 24 

Artist: Sondre Lerche 

Album: Sondre Lerche 

Label: Mona 

Genre: Pop 

Comments: Eponymous album titles are generally reserved for debuts, but Sondre Lerche is actually the sixth LP from this Norwegian-born, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter. And as we've come to expect from Sondre Lerche, it's another stellar array of tunes, informed by pop, jazz, rock and folk from across several decades. Boosted by a slew of superbly talented musicians, Sondre Lerche is richly constructed--with keyboards and strings complementing the guitars and percussion--and at times it sounds as much like a jazz LP as anything else.

RIYL: Burt Bacharach, Belle & Sebastian and Kings of Convenience. Check out "Private Caller", "Domino" and "Go Right Ahead".
