Sondre Lerche Shares 'Drive Me Away From You' Video

(MPG) Following the release of his critically-acclaimed new album Acrobats earlier this month, Sondre Lerche has released the official video for "Drive Me Away From You."

Directed by rising filmmaker Lea Meyer (who also directed the video for the album's lead single "Little Kids"), the video stars Lerche alongside award-winning Norwegian actress Petronella Barker as two lovestruck runaways.

About the video, Lerche explains, "I just wanted to make a romantic video about two love-struck runaways! We don't know what they're escaping, maybe it's just this gloomy, dystopian, dumpster fire world we live in. But I thought it would be cool for the video to take the song quite literally, and director Lea Meyer again brought real beauty and elegance to her take on it. She showed me Wild At Heart, which I had never actually seen, and then I saw Jonathan Demme's Something Wild, so those two became our inspirational touchstones. I've always loved the Norwegian award-winning actress Petronella Barker, and so we reached out and asked her if she'd consider starring in it with me. She's a legend! And a real joy and honor to work with. It's a little slice of cinema in short form!"
