Grampa Simpson once said, "Ya know, you remind me of a poem I can't
remember, and a song that may never have existed, and a place I'm not
sure I've ever been to." Having listened to Two Way
Monologue, I kind of know how he feels. Although I hope that
doesn't mean I'm having a stroke too.
What I mean is that there's something both familiar and strange about
the songs of Sondre Lerche. I know I've never heard them before, or
him either. And yet there's still that strange sense of memory, as if
this album is composed of aspects of other songs and other performers,
put together in a way that makes them both recognizable and fresh,
like that memory old Abe isn't quite sure he ever had.
Getting wisdom from the Simpsons. Maybe I was on the right track
after all with that stroke theory.
