Sondre Lerche
Sondre Lerche is... what? 21? Yes, 21. Maybe Norwegian but we're not sure because he sings in uninflected English. And he's brilliant.

"I'd proved I could write tidy, well-crafted pop songs. I wanted to challenge myself more and to write songs that were less predictable in structure and more relaxed. I think the songs are intrinsically richer and more diverse. But I tried to give them space to breathe. I wanted to let the air fill the songs. So I made it a bit more minimalist."

But not minimal. Oh no. He's sort of like some Beatles stuff, except not. I don't know what the name for this music is. But I think I want the album. s.
