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.
-
UrbThis time the focus is on tight songwriting, sudden chagnes and an edgy velocity that's never too dense. [Jan/Feb 2006, p.79]
-
Lerche croons and swoons between styles like a prophet of postmodern pomp.
-
Under The RadarLerche has turned himself more rock than indie. [#16, p.93]
-
While Lerche remains a promising young songwriter, Phantom Punch doesn't quite fulfill that promise.
-
Paste MagazineHis grittiest, least-ethereal long-player to date. [Feb 2007, p.58]
-
Phantom Punch is a wobbly ride through tracks that, for the most part, hiss and snarl with the leather-jacket swagger of his garagey backing band while Lerche either nervously essays a pseudo-rock "growl" over top or reverts to his customary loungey warble, both of which sound equally absurd.
