Sondre Lerche Takes On A-ha and Soothingly Reads Fjord Names

When you’re a Norwegian musician, you get used to hearing a lot of the band A-ha, the biggest ever to come out of the Nordic country shaped like an arm from the elbow down. And that’s fine with Sondre Lerche, the most popular Norwegian solo musicians of all time. Sondre adored A-ha by rarely gets to share all his knowledge. Until this bedtime, that is. Sondre also reads the names of 15 fjords in their authentic pronunciations and also teaches our Norwegian-American host how to accurately pronounce his own middle name and the names of his parents, in both Bergen and Oslo dialects.

Listen to Sondre Lerche's new single, "Follow the River," on Sondre's YouTube channel or on the streaming service of your choice. Sondre's upcoming album, Acrobats, is out August 21st.
