about
El Perro del Mar releases the single ”Broder” - her first self-composed song sung in Swedish. The single initially came about through a request to interpret the winner of the Swedish Radio’s own novel prize 2018 but turned out to be so much more. The winner of the award was the novel ”Broder” by Swedish author Aleksander Motturi dealing painfully and breathtakingly honest with the passing of his brother.
"My own brother passed away ten years ago today," El Perro del Mar says. "Reading the novel and processing it helped me put a finger on what it’s like without him. Every day. And also realizing what it’s like dealing with childhood memories and self-identification when the one once closest to you isn’t there anymore. Maybe also singing in Swedish helped me to not shy away from what it really means. There is something extremely raw and unmasked singing in my native language."
”Broder” is produced by El Perro del Mar and Petter Granberg who also co-produced her latest release the EP ”We Are History”(2018). The single artwork is made by Swedish artist Annie Hägg.
“There must be something in the water …”
Hard to criticize anything on this EP. The French version of “This Is My Head” is just as good and, well, “Say What” is so wonderfully weeping away to that clear voice and the carefully played guitar. kleinfreund
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
