El Perro Del Mar
releases new single in Swedish
debuts new video for "Broder"
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 missing 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 exactly 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 recent ep ”We Are History”(2018). The single artwork is by Swedish artist Annie Hägg. The single is released via The Control Group in North America and Ging Ging worldwide. The video is by El Perro del Mar and Gustaf Holtenas.
