El Perro Del Mar 'From The Valley To The Stars' album

Behind the El Perro Del Mar alter-ego is the sole member Sarah Assbring. In spring 2004 the first CDR-EP ‘Baby, I’ve been in a bad place’ was released by the then-newly-started Swedish label Hybris. Two more CDR-EP’s, ‘I’ve got good news’ and ‘Holiday Special’ were released shortly thereafter. In late 2004, the first official EP ‘What’s new? El Perro Del Mar’ was released.

In May 2005, all the previous unofficial and official releases were gathered to form the album ‘Look! It’s El Perro Del Mar!’. Later that year the EP ‘God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)’ was released and in December El Perro Del Mar and Swedish artist and friend Jenny Wilson performed together in the unique winter concert ‘Under a Starlit Sky’ at Södra Teatern in Stockholm.

During spring 2006, a reworked version of the album was released in England and Europe. Around this time, El Perro Del Mar went on tour as supporting act for José Gonzalez as well as on her own. By the end of 2006, the self-titled album was released by The Control Group in the U.S. as well as in The UK, Australia and New Zealand. The album received rave reviews.

El Perro Del Mar left the label Hybris and found a new home on Licking Fingers in Sweden, The Concretes’ own label. During the spring and summer of 2007, the work on the second album, ‘From The Valley To The Stars’, began.

The album ‘From The Valley To The Stars’ is released on April 22.

press quotes
El Perro del Mar has not only avoided the sophomore slump that plagues so many singer/songwriters, she may have even surpassed the triumph of her debut. Assbring has proved, once again, that she can accomplish more in a few phrases than most songwriters can with piles of verbiage. -- 8/10 Under The Radar
