ABOUT EL PERRO DEL
MAR
El
Perro Del Mar was founded in the end of 2003 around the idea and need
of making music on terms of one's own. Behind the alter-ego is the sole
member Sarah Assbring.
El Perro Del Mar started out as an mp3-artist and in spring 2004 the
first cdr-ep 'Baby, I've been in a bad place' was released by the
Swedish label Hybris. The two following 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 and also around this time, she contributed with the song
'Shake it off' on a joint and limited split single initiated by friend
Jens Lekman. She joined him shortly thereafter as opening act on his
tour in Sweden.
In May 2005 the previous unofficial/official releases were gathered to
form the compilation album 'Look! It's El Perro Del Mar!'. Later that
year the ep 'God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get) was released.
In spring 2006 a slightly updated version of the debut album was
released in the U.K. and in Europe via Memphis Industries/COOP. By the
end of 2006 the self-titled album was released in the U.S. as well as
in Australia and New Zealand. The album received rave reviews.
El Perro Del Mar also had the opportunity to make a tour in Brazil. In spring 2007 El Perro Del Mar toured the U.S.
In 2007 El Perro del Mar found a new Scandinavian home on Licking Fingers, the Concretes own label.
During the spring and summer of 2007 the much longed-for work on the
second album 'From The Valley To The Stars' began. The recordings as
well as the producing were done by El Perro Del Mar herself in her
studio in Gothenburg. The album was released in Scandinavia in
February. It was preceded by the release of the single 'How Did We
Forget?'.
In the U.S. 'From the Valley to the Stars' was released on April 22nd.
In May the release was followed by a North American tour together with
Swedish fellows Lykke Li and Anna Ternheim.
El Perro Del Mar was awarded with the Swedish Radio's Best Pop of 2008 award for 'From The Valley To The Stars'.
On
the 1st of April 2009 El Perro Del Mar's third album 'Love Is Not Pop'
was released in Scandinavia. This spring and summer El Perro Del Mar
will do selected shows around Scandinavia. The album will be released
in Europe and in the US later this year. Stay tuned for more details.
