Product Overview
Smith & Burrows - Funny Looking Angels (Picture Disc Vinyl) Tom Smith of Editors and Andy Burrows (former drummer of Razorlight and more recently of I Am Arrows) release a festive album, Funny Looking Angels. Both share a love of the classic christmas songs and a fascination with the idea of christmas records of the past, good and bad. feeling that the innocence of the christmas song had been lost in commercial plans and tv-sponsored drivel, the plan to make a traditional christmas record - the kind of album that goes on after christmas lunch for a singalong and a slump on the sofa as the wintry weather peeks through the windows - took on a life of its own. It is a record to enjoy in the purest sense, to listen to with friends over the holidays, to put on when everyone comes back from the pub, a soundtrack to the winter break. It is neither a naked grab for a hit nor a tongue in cheek joke. It is two friends and two very capable musicians trying to restore a sense of the community and joy of the season. TRACKLISTING 1.
