    Label: Gronland Records

    On Phantom Punch Sondre Lerche & The Faces Down deliver music brimming over with unrestrained youthful energy. 11 powerful tracks, several recorded live in only one take, don’t forsake Lerche’s well renowned melodic gifts, but its concise solos and vigorous ensemble playing show us a band at the top of their game. “These songs are cut to the bone, not a second longer than they have to be,” Lerche explains. “And I didn’t want to be subtle this time around, I wanted every song to jump out of the speakers – punchy, concise pop songs, played with restless spirit.”

    Phantom Punch is sparked by Lerche’s initial musical exposure, paying tribute to a wide range of sounds anywhere from 80s pop to Brazilian music. There are sharp edgy rockers like “Face The Blood” and “The Tape;” bright melodic pop tunes like “Say It All” and “She’s Fantastic;” the psychotic disco-waltz of the addictive title track, the acoustic introspection of “Tragic Mirror” and “John, Let Me Go”, a surrealistic tune with a quirky yet infectious bossa nova rhythm.

    DBGRON66

    Artist: Sondre Lerche

    Label: Gronland Records

    Gronland are proud to announce the arrival of a song writing tour da force in the form of Sondre Lerche. Signed to EMI at the age of 17 and releasing two albums through the major, the gifted Norweigan makes his independent debut taking a brand new direction with his hotly tipped forthcoming new album 'Phantom Punch' which is brimming over with unrestrained youthful energy as demonstrated on his recent tour with Elvis Costello.


    A musical departure from his previous material, this energy was captured by producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Belle & Sebastian, Phoenix, Supergrass, Marianne Faithful) who was drafted in to give the songs a brighter more aggressive sound. A sound typified on the forthcoming limited 7” that contains the sharp edgy rockers “Face The Blood” and “The Tape”. Which is available as an exclusive download from the Gronland website.
