Live from Williamsburg, Sondre Lerche

This week’s Critic’s Notebook is on Sondre Lerche, the delightful Norwegian musician whose new album, “Heartbeat Radio,” is just out. (He plays Tuesday, September 8th at the Bowery Ballroom and Wednesday, September 9th, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.) I visited Lerche at his home in Williamsburg, and we spoke in his backyard about Norwegian death metal, Prefab Sprout, and other areas of common interest. Watch below to see Lerche talk and perform an acoustic version of “Heartbeat Radio” and part of Scritti Politti’s “The Word Girl.”
