From the Valley to the Stars and from the tour bus to just about everywhere comes Sarah Assbring and El Perro del Mar this spring. Set to release new album From the Valley to the Stars on Wednesday in her native Scandinavia on Licking Fingers, El Perro del Mar will stick to her home country of Sweden for a couple of shows later this week, followed by a full-on European tour with countrywoman Lykke Li. When they two have had their ways with their home continent, it'll be off to North America in May, when El Perro del Mar will be joined nightly by Lykke Li and Anna Ternheim (yes, she's Swedish too). That trek may wouldn't have anything to do with the Control Group's April 22 release of From the Valley to the Stars in the U.S., now would it? I thought it might!

And hey, we never ran the tracklist for the new El Perro del Mar album, did we? It's there, after the jump.
