This digital single includes two new edits of “Lokkemann” – the progressive epic that opens the album “Tenk om noen ser deg” (What if someone see you) – released in September 2018.

“Tenk om noen ser deg” was ranked as the best Norwegian album of 2018 by Prognytt.no, and has got great reviews from all over the world.

“Tenk om noen ser deg’ has completely blown my mind, and it makes me laugh, cry and be joyful in equal quantities.” 9/10 (Nordic Music Reviews)

Track 1: Lokkemann (radio-edit)

On this track the 11 minutes long piece has been brutally cut down to 3 minutes and the edit is focusing on the vocal parts of the song.

Track 2: Lokkemann – en Lokkeopera i 4 deler

a) Skandale Mentale (Ouverture) b) Lokkemann, Lokkemann, kor e du no? (Where are you now?) c) Skandale Morale (Lullaby) d) Epilogue

This includes all of the 4 opening tracks of the album, which are all part of the Lokkeopera. Now you have the fantastic opportunity to include the piece as a whole in a digital playlist!

The “Lokkemann” is a character that most children growing up in Norway are terrified of. He is notable for trying to lure children into his car or pocket by offering them chocolate. We don´t know his intentions other than that they are evil. Very few people have ever seen or met the real Lokkemann, and that makes us wonder if he is just a mythical figure that parents make their children believe in, like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or Jesus Christ our Saviour.
