D'oh! Yes, I meant Sondre Lerche. Sorry -- it's Monday, and my brain is
apparently still set to "Sunday."
Please run, don't walk, and pick up "Phantom Punch." Start with track 3,
"Say It All," for the quick impossible-to-get-out-of-your-head pop fix, then
gradually allow yourself to enjoy the deeper cuts like the beautiful and
haunting "Tragic Mirror," which sounds so much like "King Of America"-era
Elvis Costello it's uncanny. I actually heard a rumor that this disc is so
Costello-infested because Sondre wrote it while opening for Elvis on tour...
which would go a long way toward explaining why it had such an immediate
appeal for me.
Anyway - looking forward to hearing others' reviews of this one. Definitely
the discovery of 2007 (so far) for me.
