THOM HELL & ANDREAS ULVO CHRISTMAS SONGS

The aim of Christmas Songs recorded by duo Thom Hell (vocals) and Andreas Ulvo (piano, synth) was to create something intuitive with familiar and beloved Christmas songs; The performance should be unpretentious, contrary to how we are used to hearing holiday songs. In order to keep the nerve and spontaneity only one take of each song was made, with some overdubs where they later felt it was needed.
