Headphones On: Sondre Lerche vs Eggstone

Photo by Stacy Sandstrom

I'm smitten with the new Sondre Lerche record, 'Phantom Punch'. It's not because he's an adorable Norwegian who makes pop music... at least not on this record. It's because everytime I listen to this to this record, I want to hear Eggstone. I am not claiming Sondre is ripping off my favorite Swedes, but he's borrowed a bit of their enthusiasm and crunch on this new record. Remove a few bits of brass and replace them with punchy guitars and we're getting awfully close...

~~Sondre Lerche - Phantom Punch~~
~~Eggstone - Doesn't Matter~~
~~Sondre Lerche - The Tape~~
~~Eggstone - Still All Stands Still~~
~~Sondre Lerche - She's Fantastic~~
~~Eggstone - Split~~

PS. Sondre's on tour in the US right now. Eggstone will never be on tour in the US again so go see Sondre eh?

Buy some: Sondre Lerche, Eggstone

Hmm, now that's interesting. I like Sondre, and now that you mention it, I can hear a little bit of what you're talking about, too (though I think you'll hear such echoes in quite a bit of modern Swede pop stuff.) Everyone should always, always listen to Eggstone.

The "Eggtone - Split" link has a typo; it is linked to heaphones-on.com instead of headphones-on.com.

So, the correct link is:
