Los Angeles-based, Norwegian-born singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche has announced his ninth studio album Patience will release on June 5th. After living in New York City for over a decade, the album is his first since relocating to the west coast. Recorded mostly in Norway, the inspiration for this record, as Lerche tells it, comes from a recently discovered love of ambient music, running marathons, and a quest for serenity. Today, he shared the video (directed by Jon Danovic) for the album's lead single 'You Are Not Who I Thought I Was.' The album is now available for pre-order. 

Few are born here, but many reside here. It's the city that never sleeps, and a launch pad for artists who desire to make it "big." It's a place where creatives of all shapes and sizes can experience similar minds, unconventional lifestyles, and simultaneously embark on an epic quest in search of greater art.

The After Party was created out of an aspiration to foster a centralized nexus for the city's far-flung working-class musicians who had been yearning for an opportunity to network, perform, and simply "let loose." The After Party is simply the most prolific musical hang the downtown music scene has seen in years.
