Sondre Lerche (born September 5, 1982) is a Norwegian artist, singer, songwriter and composer. His debut album Faces Down, which was written and recorded at the age of 16, was named one of the most remarkable introductions of 2002 by Rolling Stone, going on to win a Spellemannprisen (Best Newcomer). Over the past two decades, Lerche has released many studio albums, toured with the likes of Air, Stereolab, Elvis Costello and St. Vincent, appeared on David Letterman, and composed numerous film scores for soundtracks including the 2007 Steve Carell/Juliette Binoche hit movie Dan in Real Life.
In 2020, Lerche returned to Norway after being based in New York and Los Angeles since 2005, releasing his ninth studio album Patience. The album earned 3 Spellemannprisen nominations and has been met with critical acclaim from Stereogum, Paste, Spin, American Songwriter, and Under the Radar, among others. Magnet Magazine called it his "finest record yet" while Atwood Magazine named it "a music masterpiece whose sweet sounds and deep emotions speak directly to the present age of uncertainty, and discomfort." Lerche also wrote his first children's book and launched a line of wines called PATOS.
Aurora and Silja Sol sang backing vocals at a number of Sondre's live shows in 2014.[1][2][3]
Lerche's song "Alone in the Night", featuring Aurora, was officially released on April 1, 2022, as a track on his studio album Avatars of Love.[4] A demo of the song was later released on Avatars of the Night.[5]
