Sondre Lerche premieres video for "Private Caller"

It's a little strange but ever since viewing it at Sondre Lerche's album listening party, I've been eagerly awaiting the wide release of his new video for "Private Caller". Why? Because it's the type of video you can watch again and again. Filmed at Brooklyn's Union Pool by friend/collaborator Katie Barker-Froyland, it combines several elements that have made Lerche's videos enjoyable in the past: Namely the assistance of Lerche's friends and family (Lerche's wife Mona makes another appearance in this video). The story of the video is rather simple. Sondre Lerche's playing on stage at Union Pool with a sort of futuristic microphone of a bunch of call girls of varying ages. Lerche's charmingly exuberant performance goes more or less unnoticed by the disinterested call girls until they spontaneously break out into dance. Turns out that's all that they needed before they set upon Lerche for an interesting twist.

I'm incredibly eager to get my hands on Lerche's new album but until that day (6/7), this video will do. Check out the video for "Private Caller":
