Sondre Lerche 's annual cover song for Stereogum was perhaps his best yet: Beyonce's Countdown. It's a minimalist acoustic take on the original, but with a considerable amount of sass. I wonder if he's ever said, "my boo boo ridin'" before in his life. Probably. Read his note below: This year, it's officially a tradition: for the third time my annual Christmas gift to you is my humble solo acoustic version of someone else's song; my favorite of the year, no less. In 2011 there was a tie between two [...]
Sondre Lerche es un noruego que está en el mundo de la música hace rato y, en todo este tiempo, lanzó cosas que nos hicieron emocionar mucho. Nos dimos cuenta que sabe hacer las cosas y que lo que hace, con ese toque de tranquilidad, popero y que viene del indie, vale la pena. En esta oportunidad es curioso porque el artista hizo un cover de la canción que más le gustó en todo el año que se trata de un tema de Boyencé . Es curioso porque, particularmente, lo que hace [...]
Norwegian pop artist Sondre Lerche cover's Beyonce's "Countdown"
Casi como una tradición navideña, hace algunos años Sondre Lerche elige su canción favorita y regala su propia versión de la misma. Este año la elegida por el sueco fue Countdown de Beyoncé . "Por tercer año consecutivo mi regalo navideño para ustedes es mi humilde versión acústica y solista de una canción de otra persona: mi favorita del año" , escribió Lerche . "Siempre y cuando haya una canción, hay [...]
With most of the appeal of Beyonce's fan & crit-beloved 4 single "Countdown" lying in Be's superwoman diva vocals and a thrillingly frenetic production that makes a fine modern pop-soul mess out of old-school Boyz II Men shout-outs, dizzying horn cycles, marching band percussion and bits of dancehall trickle, having the song stripped down into a sleepy coffeehouse acoustic form might not read as all that necessary on paper... ...that is, until one has given an ear to this early Xmas gift of a remake by elfin Norwegian singer-songwriter [...]
Sondre Lerche has proven himself a pop culturally voracious man over the past few years, what with his choice of covers, but he's outdone himself with his traditional holiday release in 2011, bringing his customary tender fingerpicked guitar and sublime vocals to a cover of Beyonce's banger-to-end-all-bangers, "Countdown." It's a song written for the dance floor and not for the coffee shop, but Sondre does his best here. Sometimes (namely "me and my boo in my boof boof riiiidin'!!") the effect is more hilarious than impressive, but it's [...]
Sempre più artisti stanno prendendo la piacevole abitudine di regalare inediti e rarità in occasioni speciali dell'anno. Quale migliore circostanza che il Natale alle porte? Come in passato (con una versione di "Bluish" degli Animal Collective e la bellissima "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt" di Owen Pallett ), anche quest'anno arriva l'omaggio di Sondre Lerche ed è di quelli che apprezziamo particolarmente. Si tratta della cover di "Countdown" di Beyoncé che potete scaricare a questo link . Invece di descriverla, lasciamo che sia l'autore a spiegarvi di cosa si tratta. [...]

Below, we have an MP3 of the stripped-down song, as well as Lerche's note about the cover, courtesy of Stereogum .

Beyoncé foi um dos grandes nomes de 2011, com seu álbum 4 coletando elogios por aí e sua faixa Love On Top ganhando um lugar merecidíssimo na nossa própria lista de melhores músicas do ano. Parece que o som da diva do R&B (Rhythm and Blues, não Rock 'n' Beats) também agradou aos ouvidos de Sondre Lerche , que escolheu a excelente Countdown para protagonizar sua série anual de covers gratuitos em 2011. A versão do cantor norueguês para Countdown é no mínimo surpreendente. Sondre retira [...]
Sondre and his boo in his boo coupe ridin'.
Like opening presents on Christmas Eve or Uncle Ron's mistletoe belt buckle, Norwegian pop guru Sondre Lerche has his own annual holiday tradition: covering one of his favorite songs from this year. Having reworked Animal Collective's "Bluish" and Owen Pallett's "Owen Takes Off His Shirt" the last two years, Lerche has now recorded a quiet rendition of Beyoncé's giant-sized "Countdown". Lerche explained that the song, even with all its bombast, spoke to him in the most basic of ways: This year, it's officially a tradition: for the third time [...]

In what's become something of an annual holiday tradition, Norwegian artist and Stereogum buddy Sondre Lerche has once again gifted us with a cover of one of his favorite songs of the year. In previous years, he's taken on Animal Collective's " Bluish " and Owen Pallett's " Owen Takes Off His Shirt ." This year, though, he's applied his talents to something considerably more populist: Beyoncé's fizzily dizzy "Countdown." Here's how Sondre picked the song: This year, it's officially a tradition: for the third time my annual Christmas gift to you is my humble solo [...]
Sondre Lerche Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Lerche has been releasing albums now for over a decade - since 20012s Faces Down , he's released six albums plus a soundtrack for the film Dan In Real Life . Earlier this year, he released his latest, self-titled LP. He recently took some time to answer questions from our very own Charlotte Gay - he discussed the musicians who helped him bring his newest record to fruition, early inspirations and his song-writing process. For those out there who [...]
BEST OF 2011 : Songs | Albums (soon) | EPs/Singles | Discoveries/Heavy Rotation | Photos A really good year! The first 40 or so are mega-jams and the latter 38 (Rawkblog loves you, baby) are still jams. I purposefully left out songs by Destroyer because I couldn't decide, so consider Kaputt represented. You can play the entire page with the handy Ex.fm player in the bottom right corner, stream the playlist on Spotify and Rdio , and download everything after the jump. [...]
