Sondre Lerche @ Canal Room: Suffused With Love

Yesterday afternoon TMS dropped by Tribeca Film Festival's Music Lounge for an intimate, brief and charming set by our favorite Norwegian singer/songwriter, Sondre Lerche. With a half hour time allotment, Sondre ran through a sampling of his entire catalog (from 2002's Faces Down to last year's Dan In Real Life soundtrack). As per usual with Sondre's gigs (we've now attended ten over the last six years), his glowing charisma and pop sensibility permeated wondrously. Full setlist, some photos & an MP3 of 'Everyone's Rooting...' below.

Setlist: Everyone's Rooting For You. Dead Passengers. Say It All. To Be Surprised. My Hands Are Shaking. Tragic Mirror. Sleep On Needles. Two Way Monologue.
