El Perro del Mar

Swedish sensation, Sarah Assbring, creates minimalist, tranquil soundscapes characterized by simple melody and brooding, cynical lyricism.  Stylistically, she traverses everything from Brill Building Pop to modern-day trip hop, showing a real knack for pairing a song's anthem with a generational theme.  All four LPs are true achievements in the realm of more sinister-sounding pop, each of them worthy of a few moments of your time.  Enjoy!

Albums:  Love Is Not Pop (2009), From the Valley to the Stars (2008), El Perro del Mar (2006), Look! It's el Perro del Mar! (2005)

Tracks:  Change of Heart, Glory to the World, From the Valley to the Stars, Somebody's Baby, Candy, Party, God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)
