El Perro Del Mar
Pale Fire
Fourth studio album from sweden’s El Perro Del Mar
The chiming symbols, bewitching vocals, and down tempo disco vibe of walk on by – the first taster of the album premiered on pitchfork – promise an album of spellbinding intro- and extrospection. airy, translucent synths meld with languid, otherworldly sounds, making this album soft and hazy, but never forgettable.
From her early diy releases on the gothenburg scene – including collaborations with jens lekman – through to 2009’s love is not pop album, and recent work with lykke li, gryff rhys and chad valley, el perro del mar aka sarah assbring has woven sophisticated late night tales of love and loss. with assbring returning to the producer’s chair, pale fire is her most seductive work yet.
