Listen to New El Perro Del Mar

elperroI really love the work that Sarah Assbring has employed in her work as El Perro del Mar; she always seems to channel whatever she’s been enjoying into her work. For her her latest effort, Kokoro, she claims to have been inspired by the works ofEast Asia…Bollywood on this particular song. There’s a playfulness to it, and some great energy provided by the percussive elements. Still, the smoky warmth of Assuring’s voice is always the sublime winner in her songs, and that should come as no surprise as you bob your head to this tune. Look for the record on September 16th via The Control Group.

New Tunes from El Perro Del Mar

Today seems destined to be a day to swoon with the ladies, so I thought I’d but out this track that just popped up yesterday from El Perro Del Mar.  One of my favorite things about Sarah Assbring is her ability to shift her sound and her image, ever so slightly, yet remain a distinctive voice.  This gem of a track comes from her upcoming Pale Fire album, which hits stores on November 13th.  She’s definitely come a long long way since her early days, and she only sounds more grounded and secure on the record; it’s going to be a surprise hit among many…if it can even be considered a surprise.  Enjoy our love for the ladies with this tune.
