Embedded in electronic ambient soundscapes, UMS’nJIP weaves them together into a comprehensive audiovisual work of art. With a delicate and atmospheric touch, UMS’nJIP rework Christmas sentimentality and, with their otherworldly songs, conjure up a contemplative, atmospheric, yet also socially critical bridge to our crazy times.
