Sondre Lerche - Acrobats Sondre Lerche

Sondre Lerche returns with his boldest and most timely work to date. Acrobats explores the theme of finding love in dystopian times of global unrest and despair. This sprawling, colourful, and limitless body of work examines living in a world where sincerity and tenderness feel like acts of defiance.

"There's a dissonance between the increasingly dystopian world we live in and finding beauty and peace in your private life," he says. "It feels almost like a paradox that I'm blessed to have landed in a life and a love that is very meaningful and true. And, at the same time, it feels impossible to write a love song without taking into account the terrible things that are happening in the world." 

The result is Lerche's 11th studio album, Acrobats, an eight-song suite that ping-pongs between joy and introspection, loss and love. Recorded across nine studios with a gaggle of creatives, it's a perhaps more sobering follow-up to 2022's Avatars of Love—although no less brimming with passion.

"If there's one theme to this album, I suppose it is finding love in times of great unrest and hopelessness," Lerche says. "And that's precious."
