Tomten

Tomten is a quartet from Seattle, Washington. They are often described as "Baroque Pop" for their retro organ driven sound. Tomten was formed in 2010 by four Cornish College of the Arts students and started performing regularly in Seattle that summer. In the fall of 2010 they recorded their eponymous debut LP (released Dec. 14, 2010). In March of 2011 Tomten won First Place in the EMP/SFM's Sound Off! Competition which secured them a slot at Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival 2011. Tomten spent the summer of 2011 preparing and recording new material for their 2nd LP "Wednesday's Children" (TBA 2012) and traveled to Iceland in August to perform at Menningarnot in Reykjavik. The "Ta Ta Dana" Single was released on November 5, 2011.
