Customer Reviews

A Highly Originally and Very Beautiful Album
This has a lovely early St Etienne 60's type sound. It is simply lovely and very beautiful, delicate, and kinda sad at times too with her sweet delicate little voice. And it has lovely backing vocals too. What really knocks me out about it is how original it is. There, is nothing else out there quite like it. It raises my hopes that some musicians, like El Perro Del Mar, take no influence from modern trends and just do what they love. This means that occasionally something truly special comes up and stands out from the the boring typical rock/pop that so prevailent today. And she plays most of the instruments too. I'm really looking forward to her new album.

Just wonderful
A one-woman band , El Perro Del Mar's self-tittled debut is a collection of Sarah Assbring's fragile lullabies and uplifting pop gems . There's a wounded beautty in this woman's voice . On " People " she sounds like a little child who just had a fight with her best friend while on "This Loneliness " you just wanna hug her and tell her everything will be alright always . The gift for melody doesn't abandon her on the quick-tempo tracks either with " God Knows ( You Gotta Give To Get ) " and " I Can't talk about it " being a particular treat! This is classy , well-crafted sweet sweet sadness . Like Stina Nordenstam's " The World Is Saved " and Righteous Boy's " I Sing Because Of You " , this is another album by a swedish artist destined to became a largely unheard melancholic classic . Anyone reading this text should pick this one right up .
