  • Bio

    Sondre Lerche is thrilled to announce the release of his new self-titled album. Set for a June 7th release on Mona Records, this new collection shines with Sondre's numerous strengths that countless critics and fans have fallen in love with – his advanced melodic instinct, intimate yet refined arrangements and vivid lyricism. All of it seamlessly aligning – confirming Sondre as one of his generation's smartest singer/songwriters. Praised by Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Stereogum, Filter, Spin, and Entertainment Weekly among others for his experimentation with contrasting musical sounds, this eponymous album contains Sondre's most interesting arrangements and catchy songwriting to date, but also some of his most somber and introspective. But for his sixth album, Sondre's prolific curiosity didn't lead him to a new genre so much as introduce a new level of candidness in his work. From the gripping cut-to-the-chase opener "Ricochet" to the uber-catchy "Private Caller," from the naked drama of "Red Flags," the tribal-pop of "Go Right Ahead" and the sly folk of "Living Dangerously," Sondre's new album masterfully captures a raw, spontaneous, instinctive and heartfelt sound that results in a confident artistic statement and arguably Sondre's boldest and best record to date. In the studio, Sondre wanted to explore his new creative alliances in Williamsburg, the Brooklyn neighborhood where he's lived on and off for the last six years. "Getting to work with my new friends was one of the highlights of this whole process," says Sondre. The album was recorded – live in the studio – and mixed in a short but intense time period of three-weeks. The sessions included fellow musicians – Midlake drummer McKenzie Smith, longtime producer/collaborator Kato Ådland, Dave Heilman, drummer for Lerche-collaborator Regina Spektor, and co-producer, mixer and owner of Rare Book Room Studio, Nicolas Verhnes (Spoon, Animal Collective). "We recorded a lot of it to tape, forcing ourselves to either commit or burn bridges and move on. We were killing darlings left and right. It was truly liberating."

PRESS QUOTES

“a dependably intriguing wordsmith… no shortage of unusually intelligent quirks” -- Rolling Stone

“…fast becoming indie rock’s Burt Bacharach with his clever, unobtrusive lyrics and artful melding of jazzy folk with punchy power-pop.” -- A- Entertainment Weekly

“…unfailing pop craft, whether he’s playing taut Bacharach chamber folk (“Ricochet”), Costello-clever pub rock (“Private Caller”), bluesy Lennon-esque psychedelia (“Tied Up to the Tide”), or frenzied synth strangeness (“Go Right Ahead”).” -- 8 out of 10, SPIN

“No clutter, no retracing of steps, just 10 strong tunes that contrast but live together comfortably. In terms of the total package, it’s right up there with Lerche’s best work. Truth be told, his batting average is getting a little ridiculous at this point.” -- 8.3 out of 10, Paste Magazine

"One of the most talented new names in contemporary pop." - Los Angeles Times

“Spunky winners like the title track suggest that Lerche has absorbed the early work of his tourmate Elvis Costello…In the end, another reminder of a budding talent…” - Rolling Stone, on the 2007 album Phantom Punch

"The combination is irresistible. The full-frontal pop of "Say It All," the woozy morning-after reflection of "Tragic Mirror ," and the 1980s no-wave energy of "John, Let Me Go" all showcase Lerche's ability to craft jaunty songs that hold up nicely in their newly sweaty surroundings." - The Boston Globe, on the 2007 album Phantom Punch
