Inga Liljeström – how do you describe her music? Well, her music acts more like a soundtrack, the nature of it allows you to picture the visuals in your head and create a mini-movie to what you’re hearing. She creates a form of jazz electronica, rather than trip-hop although comparisons to artists such as Björk and Portishead are often generated.

I’ve seen Inga a few times live and she’s as good live as she is on CD. Her drummer, Michael Iverson, is amazing, as is her string section. She manages to recreate all the sounds live, and at one show of hers, she even had dancers – now that’s a live experience! She’s released two albums, but Elk is the latest record, and it’s a fantastic aural journey. We’ve got the song ‘Glow’ from that album for you to wrap your ears around.
