El Perro del Mar is, in the words of Sarah Assbring, the singer/songwriter from Gothenburg, Sweden who heads the project, "the name of the music that I had been dreaming of and planning on making for a long time."[1]
Her style is very reminiscent of 60's French pop. Though not as markedly sensual, the relaxed, care-free music itself and the sombre yet child-like vocals suggest something along the lines of a melancholic Jane Birkin. At the same time, the definitive lo-fi and synthpop production elements effectively contemporize her albums.
From 2004 to late 2005 her records had only been released by the Swedish label, Hybris, but in 2006, Sarah experienced a host of new found success when her self-titled album El Perro del Mar was picked up by UK-based label, Memphis Industries, under which Dungen and The Go! Team also release. Prior to the self-titled album, Sarah had recorded and released Look! It's El Perro del Mar! and the EP, You Gotta Give to Get, in Spring 2005 and November 2005 respectively.
