A collaboration debut album by the Swedish duo-project Paus consisting of the two prominent songwriters, Peter Svensson, guitarist (and songwriter) of The Cardigans and Joakim Berg, vocalist (and songwriter) of Kent. Paus is Swedish for 'pause', reflecting the hiatus they both were experiencing in their respective bands. Actually, the drummer of The Cardigans, Bengt Lagerberg is one of the studio musicians and he plays on all tracks. This is not the style they're normally associated with in their "own" bands but it's more of a chamber pop and ambient art pop with fine delicate harmonies and beautiful pieces of sound. A precious little album that deserves much more attention.
[ Here's another fine track: "Kärlekens tunga" from this duo (with Joakim on vocals) on the Eldkvarn, or Plura Jönsson, tribute album Plura 50 - En hyllningsplatta (2001) ]
