SONDRE LERCHE CITES 'BODY DOUBLE' AS ONE OF SEVERAL INSPIRATIONS FOR DOUBLE ALBUM 'AVATARS OF LOVE'
Brooklyn Vegan's Bill Pearis asked Sondre Lerche about the influences behind his new double album, Avatars Of Love, "and he returned with a supersized list -- this one goes to 11 -- that includes music (Joni, Jobim, Sinatra, Swift, more), movies, books and podcasts." One of the items on Lerche's list is Brian De Palma's Body Double:
I've always been inspired by some of the films and themes of Hitchcock, also visually, in videos, of course. But recently I became interested in one of his most ardent imitators and admirers in film, Brian De Palma. The video for "Cut" is obviously inspired by De Palma's Body Double, which I just got to screen and present at an old cinema in Oslo. It's so outrageous, that movie. Stupid and clever and sleazy and sophisticated in equal measures. I like that, and it captures the theme of performative love and seduction really well, which is a major theme on Avatars Of Love.
