Two Way Monologue

Sondre Lerche

Virgin

WE SAY

Quirky, rich and fully-developed, Two Way Monologue follows all the great traditions of Scandinavian songwriting. Like fellow Nordic acts such as The Cardigans and Lene Marlin, Sondre Lerche's sound is also instantly accessible to an international audience. Still only 21, Bergen-based Sondre has already achieved a gold debut in Norway, as well as a growing US profile off the back of successful tours with Ed Harcourt and Liz Phair. With a UK release through Virgin, he's ready to expose his talent to a larger audience.
