While main man Tony Dekker has been working on new Swimmers material for the next full length record due out in Spring 2009, this past winter he scored his first film soundtrack for the acclaimed documentary film Song Sung Blue by Greg Kohs.
In May Tony collaborated with fellow Torontonian musician Sandro Perri (Polmo Polpo) to create music for Concrete Toronto curated by The Music Galllery. Toronto based indie (weewerk) will be releasing a special limited pressing of the 2 song Concrete Toronto - 7" this Fall, featuring Great Lake Swimmers + Sandro Perri .
