Sondre Lerche – “Bluish” (Animal Collective cover)
Sondre Lerche’s Two Way Monologue (2004) used to be one of my favorite albums, but I have to admit that I haven’t connected with his several releases since then nearly as much. I respect him a lot for experimenting, and trying out different sounds from jazz to indie rock, but none of it has really done much for me.
He just sent out an acoustic cover he made of Animal Collective’s “Bluish” off their highly acclaimed album, Merriweather Post Pavillion. It brought to mind Lerche’s older work (meaning it’s really good!), and I thought I’d share.

Nice cover, fragile and sweet. And agreed that his indie rock stuff didn’t really do it for me as much – though I might suggest that the coverage here shows a subtle benefit from Lerche’s experiments with Jazz.
