Description

On Phantom Punch Sondre Lerche & The Faces Down deliver music brimming over with unrestrained youthful energy. 11 powerful tracks, several recorded live in only one take, don't forsake Lerche's well renowned melodic gifts, but its concise solos and vigorous ensemble playing show us a band at the top of their game. “These songs are cut to the bone, not a second longer than they have to be,” Lerche explains. “And I didn't want to be subtle this time around, I wanted every song to jump out of the speakers – punchy, concise pop songs, played with restless spirit.”

more about Sylvie Lewis:

"Lewis, strong as both a jazz/folk singer and musician, creates an album that distinguishes itself as a diverse emblem
of an extremely talented and original artist." - Amplifier

"Her music and lyrics hold a charming sophistication, but she also instills them with a liveliness that circumvents the
tunes from turning stodgy and old-fashioned. Translations builds impressively upon her striking debut Tangos and
Tantrums." - All Music.com

“If Lewis’s subjects are effectively variation on time worn themes – head-over-heels romance, lost love,
dissolute partners and so on – her perspective is distinctly of the moment.” – Time Out New York
