Title Note

Personnel: Sondre Lerche (vocals, arranger, guitar, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, programming); Helen Eriksen, Lillian Samdal, Ingrid Manger, Leslie Ahern (vocals); HP Gundersen (electric guitar, slide guitar, piano, Mellotron); Kato Adland (guitar, background vocals); Bergmund Skaslien (viola); Marcus Holdaway, Brilliant Strings (strings); Jorgen Traeen (electric piano, synthesizer, bass, programming); Morten Skage (bass); Frode Unneland (drums, percussion).

Recorded at Duper, Gjoa, Sondre Cording Studios, Bergen, Norway; Blackwing Studios, London, England between November 1999 & August 2001.

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

On his incredibly accomplished debut, FACES DOWN, young Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche presents an elegant and heartfelt collection of alternative pop. Not even out of his teens at the time of the album's original 2001 European release, Lerche assuredly shifts between melancholy folk (the wistful "You Know So Well"), a playful vintage vibe (the ebullient "Modern Nature," later prominently featured in the movie DAN IN REAL LIFE), and even breezy bossa nova (the laid-back "Virtue and Wine"), often incorporating strings arranged by the High Llamas' Sean O'Hagan. For those interested in exploring Lerche's impressive catalogue, this is the best place to start.
