Dan In Real Life (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) ReviewOnce again, Sondre Lerche wields his incredible talent in crafting this quirky (without being annoying), moving (without the melodrama), and just plain charming (without being trite) soundtrack.
Sondre fans will recognize "Airport Taxi Reception" and "Modern Nature" from previous albums, but it's the songs originally written for the film that stand out the most. "To Be Surprised" (my personal favorite) is folksy and inspiring, with simple, elegant lyrics and Lerche bringing his trademark falsetto to bear. "I'll Be OK" and "My Hands Are Shaking" are melancholy laments that don't weigh themselves down with affected angst. "Hell No" is a charming, jazzy number with ethereal Regina Spektor that features a witty call-and-response.
The Pete Townsend classic, "Let My Love Open the Door" and Elvis Costello's "Human Hands," fair pleasantly enough in Sondre's more-than-capable hands (the former of which involves an interesting strings accompaniment). Many critics have faulted A Fine Franzy's take on "Fever" as being the album's Achilles Heel, but Alison Sudol does a decent enough turn if not exactly an original one. Her rich voice is perfect for singing this classic Fitzgerald number and if she doesn't add anything particularly different, she certainly doesn't take anything away.
The unpolished edges give this soundtrack an emotional sincerity that perfectly fits in with the understated sentiments of the film. And while some may consider Lerche's lyrics as one of his few weaknesses, they have never lacked in honesty if not logical sense.
Peter Hedges has made a delightful film and Sondre's contribution is part of that. But in addition to making for a great film, it's also a great album to listen to on its own.Dan In Real Life (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Overview
