‘Funny Looking Angels’ is the collaboration album from Tom Smith (Editors) and Andy Burrows (Razorlight / I Am Arrows / We Are Scientists).
The album is a mix of original tracks and covers chosen because they remind them of Christmas in different ways. It features vocals from both Tom and Andy and an eclectic choice of cover versions, from Yazoo’s ‘Only You’ and Black’s ‘Wonderful Life’ to The Longpigs ‘On And On’ and cult Birmingham band Delta’s ‘Funny Looking Angels’, which also gave them their album title.
The album also features a guest vocal from rising star Agnes Obel in duet with Tom on the closing track, a sumptuous version of ‘The Christmas Song’.
