Lerche's most recent work was on the original soundtrack for the film Dan In Real Life. The soundtrack featured 13 tracks recorded exclusively for the movie, including four new songs penned by Lerche and seven cue tracks from the score, which he composed as well. "The thing about Sondre's music is that it feels timeless to me," says Peter Hedges, the film's director. "There's a depth to it and you feel that this is a man who believes in love. The music is just infused with that feeling without being sappy or sentimental- which made it a complete dream for this story."
Lerche, still only in his mid-twenties will be playing tunes from the soundtrack as well as from his vast catalogue, which includes 4 studio albums and several EPs. Entertainment Weekly said his last studio album Phantom Punch "Evokes '80s Britpop at its zenith, with Duran Duran-ish guitars and synths underpinning lyrically self-aware ditties like the title track." To which Lerche says "I didn't want to be subtle this time around, I wanted every song to jump out of the speakers - punchy, concise pop songs, played with restless spirit."
