Topics swedish singer, music, album release, gothic, electronic

Swedish singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer El Perro Del Mar announces her first album in 8 years “Big Anonymous”, out now on City Slang. Tough to sum up, the musical path taken by this shape-shifter artist encompasses a spectrum: doo-wop redux, mystic ballads, electronic dance, ecstatic love songs, global pop, and more. Every time you think you've put her in a box, this Schrödinger's Dog eludes you. With this record, she goes places where few dare to venture: dialogues with the dead, musings on her own mortality, and reflections on the inner darkness that she's inherited. It's gothic, crepuscular, moody – and magnificent. And in the end you might just find it uplifting. She does. She has toured with Lykke Li, José González, Taken by Trees, Peter, Bjorn & John and TV on the Radio, while remixers of her songs include Robyn, Vessel and Saint Etienne. She has co-written the upcoming album by the futuristic pop artist Zhala. *taken from notes by Oliver Craske
