In Deepest and Most Loving Memory of Thomas Hansen 1976 - 2007
In August 2007, Thomas Hansen, aka Saint Thomas, and I recorded 13 songs for an album to be entitled Fancy Tunes. Thomas wanted to find back the fun in playing - to be anonymous, away from the spotlight for a while. We invited many friends who all played different instruments on the various songs we wrote together. It was an exciting time. Above all, it was fun, and both of us felt a bit lighter again about the future.
Unfortunately, there are no plans for these songs ever to be released. However, I do intend to play some of the songs with my new project, Josephine Bell. These songs are too precious to let the dust settle on them, and I believe they should be heard.
This is our original biography, written by Thomas:
Jesus & Princess Maria is a side project of Saint Thomas from Norway, produced together with his friend Ilse, aka Princess Maria. The idea came up in the spring of 2007, and in two weeks of August 2007 they produced 13 songs for an album hopefully to come out on a label early 2008. So, if interested labels are out there, please take contact! The songs vary from folky techno danceable beats, to refreshing and smooth pop-folky tunes. The project is totally unpretentious, it sounds fun, and we love, love. love, what we have made. So we hope you do as well!
