About El Perro del Mar:

-From herspace:

El Perro del Mar was founded in December 2003. For the moment based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The sole member of El Perro Del Mar, Sarah, started as an mp3/cdr-artist and released her first songs through the Swedish label Hybris. In November 2004 El Perro Del Mar released the three-track EP 'What's New? El perro del mar' which included the songs 'This Loneliness, 'It's all good' and 'I can't talk about it'. She also worked together with Swedish Jens Lekman and together they released a split vinyl single on which Sarah contributed with the song 'Shake it off'. The single was available in Sweden and in the United States via Jens' label Secretly Canadian - it was quickly sold out. El Perro Del Mar also went on a short tour in Sweden accompanying Jens around this time. In Spring 2005 a compilation album of all the earlier released tracks, 'Look it's El Perro Del Mar', was released in Sweden. The following summer El Perro Del Mar did quite a few live performances around Sweden for an artist who doesn't particurlarly enjoy performing live. In the late summer and fall of 2005 she worked on a new EP which was to be released in November 2005. The EP was entitled 'You Gotta Give To Get' and included the three songs 'God Knows - You gotta give to get', 'Do The Dog' and 'Say'. In December 2005 El perro del mar put together a quite special Christmas concert together with the remarkable Jenny Wilson, a 4-piece band and a huge choir. The concert took place at Sdra Teatern in Stockholm. On the 10th of April the self entitled album was released in UK and Europe (in France on the 9th of May) on the British label Memphis Industries. The album release is to be accompanied by a 7" - release date on the 1st of May.
