Isn't she amazing?

I'd say she's prettier than amazing.



But yeah, her music's quite interesting. :)

We need more El Perro Del Mars. We need more chicks trying to be Chantal Goya!

I like how self-indulgent she is. It makes me look better.

El Perro del Mar Heads From the Valley to the Stars

For her latest LP under the El Perro del Mar name, Sarah Assbring will spin her tales of romantic woe all the way From the Valley to the Stars.

The new album from the Swedish songstress is due in Scandinavia February 27 on Licking Fingers, and will head to the States April 22 from The Control Group.

Writing about the album in a press release, Assbring notes, "I wanted to make something as unfashionable as an album in the classic sense of the word ­ in terms of its composition and the idea of a theme. The theme itself was initially something as simple yet complex as heaven and it led me into a wide and seemingly endless search for a means, a language in which to express myself. Although during this time I was, even though I mostly didn't realize it, following a certain train of thought­ that of love, grief and loss, solace and hope, deepest despair and wildest childish euphoria ­ to the lowest and the highest of heights."

El Perro del Mar is joined at times on the 16-track record by members of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the Gothenburg Symphonic Choir. Gosh, she must like Gothenburg or something! Oh, yeah, right, she lives there.

Lead single "How Did We Forget?", which recently made an appearance over at Forkcast, is due as a digital download and 7" on Licking Fingers February 13. El Perro del Mar plan to tour behind the record, though those dates remain elusive for the time being.
