The Bloomfields—the quintet band who gave us revivals of happy music from the past (otherwise known as timeless and fun "daddy music")—is giving us more reasons to be merry this holiday season. The Bloomfields have already released their second album under EMI Philippines. This is a Christmas album titled Pasko Natin 'To, which features 10 tracks including three of the band's original compositions. The album is basically a collection of songs that depicts how Pinoys usually celebrate their Christmas holidays. Pasko Natin To, which is the album title as well as the title of the first single, sounds like traditional carols but with a heavy amount of Bloomfields' upbeat trademark.

The Bloomfields, which is made up of Jay Jay Lozano on the lead Rickenbacker (the guitar John Lennon used), Louie Poco on the bass Rickenbacker (also a McCartney Favorite), Pepe Lozano on the electric guitar, Lakan Hila on piano/organ/keyboards and Rocky Collado on the drums, recorded the album for almost a month with the help of their co-producer Chito Ilagan of EMI Phils, the band's manager George Boone and sound engineer Nikki Cunanan.

With the band's unique blend of old and new, they were able to make the album a lot different from their first album, technically speaking. "I think the first thing we have noticed is that the sound was more mature in this album. This one's still has the rock 'n roll touch, but has more elements," Lakan pointed out.

The band starts and ends the album with an acapella of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" with remakes from The Beach Boys' "Santa's Beard"; Motown favorite "Someday At Christmas" originally by Stevie Wonder and Perry Como hit "It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas" in between. There also versions of OPM Christmas classics like "Tuloy ng Tuloy ang Pasko" and APO Hiking Society's "Himig Pasko."
