El Perro Del Mar - El Perro Del Mar

in
By Pras Rajagopalan (CHARTattack) June 20, 2006 3:35 pm
El Perro Del Mar is the work of a solitary Swedish songwriter, Sarah Assbring, and lonely is exactly how she sounds on her North American debut. These songs are sombre, largely acoustic renderings of '60s pop — notably of the R&B and Brill Building variety. The echo chamber pop production is marvelously understated and underscores Assbring's...

El Perro Del Mar Is Entirely Pleasant

By Melody Lau (CHARTattack) February 22, 2010 5:36 pm
Sarah Assbring may come off as shy and timid, but when the song starts, she becomes a whole other person — El Perro Del Mar, to be exact. I expected a fairly quiet night walking into The Mod Club — I didn't bring earplugs and even overheard the coat-check workers saying it was so quiet it felt like the club was closed — but that quickly changed...

El Perro Del Mar — Love Is Not Pop

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) February 10, 2010 4:13 pm
Love Is Not Pop, the latest release from Sweden's El Perro Del Mar, is another shining example of what sole member Sarah Assbring does best. She combines melancholic moods and vocals with the theme of love, both falling in love and losing love. Assbring opens with "Gotta Get Smart," a captivating, yet lyrically simple song that...

El Perro Del Mar — "Change Of Heart"

El Perro Del Mar's new video for Love Is Not Pop's "Change Of Heart" is hilariously homoerotic and features two male body builders lifting each other up and performing interpretive dance moves while wearing flesh-coloured Speedos. You can download "Change Of Heart" here. Love Is Not Pop is out now.
