Sondre Lerche is back on the road, and he's brought a new record with him. The Bergen-born songwriter just dropped 'Acrobats' via PLZ/Virgin, a stunner that lands him right back in the conversation. If you've followed him since 'Faces Down' in 2001, you know the man has never made a lazy track. From the jangle of "Sleep on Needles" to the pop craft all over 'Phantom Punch,' Lerche builds songs that reward repeat spins.
Right now he's touring the US before heading home for a run of Norway dates. Catching him in a room like Bowery Ballroom feels like the right scale: intimate, warm, built for a set full of belters and quieter moments.
Two decades deep and the guy is still curious, still charming, still writing gems that sound both classic and new. 'Acrobats' is proof the momentum hasn't slowed a bit.
Do yourself a favor and grab a ticket before the American leg wraps. This is a moment worth showing up for.
