    With Phantom Punch Sondre Lerche finally makes good on the promise of his talent; he's mastered and polished his intuitive gift for melody and arrangement and rightly applied it to his most natural musical inclinations.
  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    Phantom Punch's palette contains dollops of everyone from The Clash to The Sea And Cake to name-your-favorite-shoegaze-band, but most of all, the album's freewheeling energy brings to mind Supergrass' finest moments.
  3. Rolling Stone

    Thoroughly enjoyable though it is, Phantom Punchalso feels a little lightweight.

    Admittedly, the songs are much, much better when you are hearing them live, but Sondre Lerche can sing his Norwegian arse off. I would very highly recommend this album.… Expand
