Sondre Lerche discography


The discography of Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche consists of 10 studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, three soundtrack albums, one re-recorded album, 14 extended plays, 36 singles, 35 music videos, and 14 holiday covers.
Lerche's published music career began in the year 2000 at the age of 17, when he released his debut single, "You Know So Well" in Norway. He had previously started writing songs, including his first song "Locust Girl", at age 14. The release of Lerche's first full-length album, Faces Down, was delayed to 2001 until he finished schooling; the album debuted at the number two spot on the VG-lista Norwegian charts. His sophomore album, Two Way Monologue, was released in 2004. In 2006, Lerche took a stylistic change into jazz with Duper Sessions, which charted on the American Billboard Jazz charts. This was followed in 2007 by the indie rock album Phantom Punch. In 2009, Lerche released the album Heartbeat Radio, which was followed in 2011 by the self-titled Sondre Lerche.
Lerche started a trilogy of albums with the release of Please in 2014, followed by Pleasure in 2017 and concluding with Patience in 2020. He then released a double album, Avatars of Love, in 2022, the year of his 40th birthday. Lerche's discography has also included several extended plays, and a tradition of releasing cover songs as digital singles during the holiday season.

Holiday covers

Lerche maintains an annual holiday tradition of covering a pop song from the past year, which has been in conjunction with producer Matias Tellez since 2013. They are published as stand-alone digital singles on Bandcamp and released to the music publication Stereogum. Many of these covers were included on the 2015 EP Covers and the 2023 compilation album Understudy. Lerche first began publishing cover songs during the holiday season in 2009, as exclusives for Stereogum, although his partnership with Tellez for an annual tradition did not start until 2013. In 2019, the Britney EP fulfilled the tradition rather than releasing one single.
