With her self-titled debut on its way to the States courtesy of the Control Group (due November 7), it's only natural that El Perro del Mar (aka Sarah Assbring) make her way across the pond as well. And, like the foreigners of long ago, she's headed straight to New York City.

El Perro del Mar will play a handful of gigs across the Big Apple, after finishing a tour with Camera Obscura in England. Now we know what you're thinking--"four November NYC gigs in five days that aren't a part of CMJ?"-- but...well, to be honest, that's what we're thinking too.

In other news, Åsa Arnehed made an animated video for the El Perro del Mar track "God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get)". Remember that friend with the mom with the spoon collection?
