Tom Smith & Andy Burrows for Christmas album

They're all bloody at it...

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 14 Oct 2011

Following yesterday's news that Tim Wheeler and Emmy The Great have teamed up to release a Christmas album, it would appear that the floodgates have been opened.

The latest makeshift act to enter the festive fray are Editors frontman Tom Smith and former Razorlight man Andy Burrows, better known these days under his I Am Arrows moniker.

Funny Looking Angels will see the longtime friends aim to deliver the definitive Christmas record with a mix of original tracks and covers including Yazoo’s ‘Only You’ and Black’s ‘Wonderful Life’. The album drops on November 25. For more information check out www.smithandburrows.com.
