The Eardrums blog will be putting out a new comp in April called "Between two waves" featuring a collection of collaboration tracks, all exclusive to the release except for one. The tracklist has not been revealed yet, but the first sample is now online and it features Sweden's Cake On Cake mixing it up with Amercian Jacob Borshard.

Delusions of Adequacy on Cake On Cake's latest record "Hymns I remember": http://www.adequacy.net/2009/01/cake-on-cake-hymns-i-remember/
Cake on Cake"Sunday girl", the frontrunner of "Hymns I remember", is seeped in the essence of 60s pop music. The fact that it wouldn't feel out of place on a Jens Lekman album doesn't hurt either, and like Lekman, Helena Sundin softly, gently draws us into the musical translations of her inner monologues with this opening track. The rest of Cake on Cake's album is solid, even more so if you are fond of the brand of Swedish pop that has seen such praise heaped upon El Perro del Mar and Granada. My only real complaint is that Sundin's charm seems unevenly distributed between the first two tracks of the record, not that there aren't wonderful moments throughout, but one's standards are left so high after "Visiting the Venice Biennal" that it can take a few listens to fully appreciate "Hymns I remember" in its entirety.
