Please

I love Sondre Lerche. I have all his U.S. Albums. I really like this one too but just not as much as Heartbeat Radio. That one is my absolute favorite.

This feels like Sondre Lerche's most personal album and while it is easy to get caught up in the gorgeous melodies and fun personality of the songs, the lyrics will catch you up and force you to listen with relatable emotions and vulnerability.

Sondre never fails to deliver. An album with punch, crunch and a heart.

Another incredible album by Sondre Lerche from start to finish.

Starting off the album is "Bad Law." It's a bouncy number narrated by a career criminal with a nasty past, foolishly rationalizing his dirty deeds from a prison cell, only to stumble inadvertently upon a profound question in the song's chorus. What follows is a funky eco-friendly number, Crickets," so innocuous and beguiling that it would not offend your most diligently reactionary friends. With "Legends," could it be that Sondre is mocking Coldplay and its royal couple of Martin and . . um, who is it this week? Nah, that's just my imagination working overtime. On "Lucifer" Sondre takes on the US's fascination with evil, and from his characteristically Scandinavian perspective, he like Björk is not that impressed. I was incorrect in my initial review of this album: it is "After the Exorcism" in which he channels David Bowie, with a notable diamond-in-the-rough melodicism "At a Loss for Words" is a lengthy and trenchant reflection on defeat. On "Lucky Guy," Sondre's letting us know he can still deliver a powerhouse pop number reminiscent the Beatles or Harry Nilsson; perhaps he is paying homage to colleague Rufus Wainwright as well. "Logging Off" is another of Sondre's intensely inscrutable album's-last-song, which might take some time for me to piece together. Indeed, the heart of the album is a number at the album's middle, unlikely titled "Sentimentalist," which contains THE most stunningly beautiful chorus, conjuring up soundtracks of sundry classic French and Italians films of the 1950s and -60s.

This is only my second album by Lerche. The first was the "Dan In Real Life" soundtrack from nearly 7 years ago. That album was a perennial listen when I was driving. This is a little less immediate and slightly more introspective. However, it's beautifully recorded and I think this slowburner may become one I appreciate more as time goes on.

Solid SONDRE LERCHE album work.

Mi favorito desde el Two way Monologue

８月に予約購入し10月になぜかCDが届きました。以来４回にわたる返品と倉庫の確認依頼、やり取りをおこなってもうすぐ１ヶ月たちますがいまだにLP盤は届きません。しかも間違った商品を販売し続けて事故を拡大し続けています。海外の新品出店、中古の出店に関してはわかりません。あくまでもAmazon.com Int'l Sales, Inc.で買わないように注意してください。FLAKE RECORDで国内盤CDを購入しましたがアルバムの内容は最高です！オススメできます。
