For the last five years Elliott Smith has been the sole source of incredible, heart-breaking, thouht-provoking music. At long last he has a challenger in Sondre Lerche. While both of them have profoundly meaningful lyrics, touching sentiments and remarkable vocals, Sondre is a much more positive artists in that his hope appear to be justified - it really is just a matter of time before he finds the love he's looking for. With Smith each song is a painful journey into self-doubt and near-obsession, but one that is often worth taking if for no other reason than to find solace in shared sorrows. Sondre comes across as the more empassioned artists as a result of this difference, but both of them are telling the same incredible stories in their songs, albeit in very different ways.
I wonder if any of you have noticed this odd parrallel between Smith and Lerche?
