 (1 Customer Review)
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.

ATTENTION SHOSHANA BEAN FANS! For those who aren't already aware, Shoshana's boyfreind (Tyler Fry)was claimed in a car accident. I'm asking all to pray for Shoshona and the family of Tyler fry. May God bless and keep you all in his grace. Sail on Tyler.SHOSHANA'S GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO DONATE ALL THE PROCEEDS (100%) FROM DIGITAL SALES OF (THE CD'S TITLE SONG) "NEVER ALONE" TO Oprah's Angel Network! THANKS SO MUCH PRETTY LADY! ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I LOVE YOU!!! AS OF 2-3-09Total raised and donated thus far from digital sales of "Never Alone" (the song only) is $750.00(continued THANKS!!!) Every bit means something to someone.Thanks for all the love and support. We are capping out on the donations. Thanks so much.. God bless! OK wonderful people, After sending the last donation check to AmeriCare, I'm informed they'd no longer be taking donations for their "hurrican releif fund." They've raised 10 millon dollars ( that's great! I'm glad to we've been a part of that)and would be taking no more. This is something I personally don't understand, considering all that needs to be done to aid those souls in need. Therefore, future donations will be going to Oprah's Angel Network. Blessings and peace, AGAIN, IT'S TIME TO HELP OTHERS!!My company LOVEBEAMS.INC is about giving back and helping those in need! This journey's been such a blessing to us. It's now time, we once again be a blessing to someone else! I will personally see to it that a portion of the proceeds form the sales of "Never Alone" (both CD and digital)will go to the AMERICARES HURRICANE relief fund. Please continue to help us, help others. We know not when, we may be in need. Thank you all,DwayneHello! I'm Dwayne Palmer. I'm a songwriter and CEO of "LOVEBEAMS INC.
