Tomte is a German-speaking indie band from Hamburg. Their music is described as guitar pop with some punk influences and may be considered to be a part of the “Hamburger Schule” (Hamburg indie “school”) on the basis of the band Tocotronic's influence on their work.
Their latest album, Buchstaben über der Stadt (“Letters above the City”) came out in early 2006. The first single was Ich sang die ganze Zeit von dir ("I sang of you all the time"). Other songs from the album which had similar success were "New York" and "Walter und Gail".
