Loki Lockwood with Inga Liljeström

History:
Loki Lockwood's Velatine releases started emerging as 2 full length cinematic, industrial,
instrumental albums in 2020. Loki always saw Velatine as a female vocal driven project but
due to circumstances then he saw it as a way to move the project forward. Late 2021 he
connected with singer Maggie Alley and Velatine released the album 'I Won't Be Civilised'
in February 2023. It certainly got some solid interest, particularly in Europe with various
write-ups and reviews in magazines like Orkus!, Side-Line, Electrospank, Destroy//Exist
and Electro Zombies. By the time the album was released Maggie had decided to pursue
her own aspirations but celebrated the release with a live performance as part of Dark
Fomo 4 alongside Scattered Order and User.
The beginning of a new chapter leads to new possibilities so Loki spent most of 2023
writing songs and the flexibility of creating for his own personal enjoyment. After realising
that keeping Velatine a fluid structure for now the idea of a series of 'one off' collaborations
with various vocalists seemed to bring a lot of advantages. Now working with a number of
different vocalists, he’s currently enjoying leaving Velatine open to develop in a far more
organic way. This first release with Australian / Finnish composer Inga Liljeström on guest
vocals is a taste of what's in store. Inga's an incredibly gifted singer / songwriter in her own
right and it's been an honour to work with her on the new Velatine single / video. Her
credentials both here and in Europe / UK [where she lived for many years] are
outstanding.
