Norway's Sondre Lerche was still a precocious teenager when he started recording yet his debut album displayed a mastery of pop classicism. Lerche is heavily influenced by orchestrated 1960s pop from both sides of the Atlantic (echoes of everything from the Beatles to Bacharch can be heard here), but TWO WAY MONOLOGUE never descends into a derivative retro feel. Lerche's gentle, vulnerable voice provides a friendly travel guide through the often-surprising melodic twists and turns of his writing and arrangements. While elegant layers of keyboards and guitars tastefully adorn the tracks, the album never feels overdone; there's a reason for every part, and a place for every note. The occasionally soaring melodies and ambitious production are also balanced by an endearingly homespun quality that permeates TWO WAY MONOLOGUE no matter how involved the sonic setting.

Editorial Reviews
[T]ricky, eager little songs that skip and sparkle with boyish abandon. The melodies are anchored in his ambling guitar...
Magnet

Ranked #50 in Uncut's Best New Albums of 2004 - [A]n unexpected gem. Think swoonsome pop at its most non-cynical...
Uncut

4 stars out of 5 - Lerche can do melancholic troubadour, shiny pop perfection, woozy psychedelia and symphonic ballads....A real find.
Uncut

4 stars out of 5 - [S]elf-effacing swing and sensitive soul.
Mojo

[A] breezy, unexpectedly enchanting CD--Nick Drake on Prozac. - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (03/12/2004)

3 stars out of 5 - [T]his thinking person's pop star writes ornate, Sunday-morning melodies that suggest a composer twice his age....[The album's] uncluttered arrangements assimilate decades of chamber pop, folk, and even jazz.
Rolling Stone (03/18/2004)
