El Perro del Mar - From the Valley to the Stars (CD)

El Perro del Mar is the alter ego of Sarah Assuring. Her second album is an opus, chock full of non-traditional folk songs that explore the world at large. She's joined at times on the record by members of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the Gothenburg Symphonic Choir. Her 2006 debut garnered high profile raves from Rolling Stone to Pitchfork to NPR to the NY Times.
