Kendall Street Company, the dynamic and innovative music collective, is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, “El Perro Triste,” as the September installment in their ambitious monthly single release campaign of 2024.
Following their release of hard rock tracks “Porridge” and “Marijuana Timewarp” over the past two months, “El Perro Triste” marks a departure from heavy alternative jams and into the world of latin psychedelia. It tells the story of an unfortunately sad, yet hopeful dog (or perhaps human, as the tense and speaker change between verses) who smokes too much and too often. A long-build psychedelic jam features piano, trumpet, and electric guitar.
Bassist Brian Roy is the featured lead vocalist on “El Perro Triste,” which is written entirely in Spanish. “Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Juana Molina, Banda Magda, and Monstruos del Mañana,” said Roy. “The Latin psychedelic rock scene is alive and well, and it’s influenced both myself and the rest of the band greatly. We actually started writing this track back in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic and shelved it for a while, as it didn’t quite fit on any projects we had in the works at that time. We had a fantastic time working with our frequent collaborators and good friends Price Gillock on the piano and Ryan Calonder (of Disco Risque) on the trumpet. It’s particularly fun to write lyrics in Spanish, as I’m not a native speaker, which I think can help prevent overthinking and nitpicking during the songwriting process. That’s how ABBA churned out so many hits in English. I learned Spanish as an adult, studying in Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful place! My mother speaks fluently as well, so that’s always good practice.”
“El Perro Triste” will be available for streaming on all major platforms starting September 27, 2024. Fans can look forward to monthly releases every final Friday as part of KSC’s 2024 Singles Project.
