The Control Group will release El Perro Del Mar's second LP, From the Valley to the Stars, on April 22. The follow-up to her critically-acclaimed self-titled debut features 16 songs that were written and recorded throughout 2007.

"I wanted to make something as unfashionable as an album in the classic sense of the word—in terms of its composition and the idea of a theme," El Perro Del Mar explained in a statement. "The theme itself was initially something as simple yet complex as heaven and it led me into a wide and seemingly endless search for a means, a language in which to express myself. Although during this time I was, even though I mostly didn't realize it, following a certain train of thought—that of love, grief and loss, solace and hope, deepest despair and wildest childish euphoria—to the lowest and the highest of heights."
