Sondre Lerche‘s new album, Please, is out later this month (9/23) and you may have already heard the upbeat first single “Bad Law.” The second single from the album is “Sentimentalist,” a dreamy ballad that is, sonically, one of more ambitious recordings he’s done yet. Lush, with a bitter heartbroken core, Lerche layers strings, harp and Morricone-esque otherworldly voices as the song climaxes and washes away in a white noise coda. The song makes it’s premiere in this post and can be streamed below.

You can also catch Sondre Lerche on his upcoming tour, which kicks off with a record release show at Bowery Ballroom on September 23 with openers TEEN. Tickets are still available. He’s added European dates after his North American tour, and all those are listed, along with the “Sentimentalist” stream, below…
