We've been enamored with El Perro del Mar, aka Sarah Assbring, ever since she crossed the pond in 2008 with fellow Swedes Lykke Li and Anna Ternheim. Our only complaint about that fantastic tour was how hard it was to transition our minds and bodies from the dance party grooves of Lykke Li to the moody, sensual tunes of El Perro del Mar. With the release of her new album Love Is Not Pop, we get a nice blend of both styles.
We have two tickets to see El Perro del Mar (with Taken by Trees) at the Cambridge YMCA Family Theatre on February 19th. Want in? E-mail melophobe.boston@gmail.com w/ El Perro del Mar in the subject line, and tell us your favorite thing to buy at IKEA. Winners will be chosen on February 17th.
