COVER: Sondre Lerche --"Bluish" (Animal Collective)

 
Animal Collective recently released a video for their Merriweather Post Pavillion track, "Bluish." Without the effects thrown in by Animal Collective, the track could sound like the B-side for Conor Oberst or M. Ward. However, my wish came true when Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche decided to cover the song in his soft spoken, ballad-like ode. The cover is stripped down to the bare essentials--a single acoustic guitar. Subtle effects are added, like an echo to Lerche's voice--a nice touch to an even nicer song.

    Thanks very much for the comment. It means a lot to Greg and myself when we have people like you read the blog and feel that way about some of the music we post. You should give a listen to more of Sondre Lerche's stuff; very melodic and catchy, with a softness of Paul Simon. There will be more great music to come, so keep reading!
