Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

“No one’s gonna come / Tell you how it’s done”.  Norwegian sensation Sondre Lerche has made his name known, but for me it goes back to his stunning debut.  “No One’s Gonna Come” is the definite highlight on this track.  If only he could go back to the style of his first quirky venture, I’d be much happier with Lerche’s work!

Grab a copy of Faces Down and all his other good stuff.

Listen to “No One’s Gonna Come”

Postsecret: word on the street is that Lerche will be having an album coming out this year. According to him, it will be the most wonderful “Sondre Lerche experience yet”.

You might be able to imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find that Sondre Lerche had been contracted to do the entire soundtrack for Dan in Real Life. I was so impressed by Lerche’s debut Faces Down, that I was disappointed by his later albums. Lerche seemed to be abandoning that troubadour-style that made him so instantly affable.

Dan in Real Life, my friends, is a return to the Faces Down days, with Lerche crooning out over a rather diverse collection of songs. Lerche performs quite an interesting cover of “Let My Love Open the Door” (the strings are incredible!) and the cool-and-calm “To Be Surprised” shows Lerche making the best out of what could be a simply mediocre track. The swingy-duet “Hell No” with Regina Spektor is an instant classic, while the previously released “Modern Nature” is another delightful duet. So if you love Steve Carell or you just love Sondre Lerche, the OST for Dan in Real Life is a sure bet.
