NEW RELEASE BREAKING NEW MOULDS. SHAPING NEW SOUNDS. NOVEMBER 2020 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.
