Sondre Lerche and the Faces Down Quartet
Duper Sessions
Norwegian pop star Sondre Lerche and the Faces Down Quartet have brought a beautiful, romantic, jazzy pop album into the world. “Duper Sessions” is 13 tracks (plus one hidden!) running just over forty minutes.
Most of the songs are original, but the three covers on the album include:
- “Human Hands” (Elvis Costello)
- “Nightingales" (Paddy McAloon)
- “Night and Day” (Cole Porter)
The sensible melodies of “Duper Sessions” will stick in your head with just one listen. Classy lyrics are combined with the perfect mélange of upbeat energizers and slow-paced ballads. Lerche’s unforgettable voice is enhanced by the nuances that the Faces Down Quartet bring with the solos that show off their pure musical talent.
I was surprised to find out that most of the songs on this album were recorded live because of what I have heard of Lerche’s previous albums, which are very produced. Apparently, they wanted to show everyone what they sound like at their live performances. After hearing this album… What I wouldn’t give to see them!
