Velvet Lined Shell is a 6 track mini-album by Toyah Willcox, and the album was cited as a return to her punk roots. Recorded in her home town of Birmingham, most of the tracks have a deliberately raw feel to them, with Toyah citing Nick Cave and Garbage amongst her newer influences.
In much the same way as Toyah's debut album, Sheep Farming In Barnet was a compilation of tracks previously released on single and EP in their own right, three tracks on this album first appeared on the 2002 Little Tears Of Love EP, which was sold exclusively via Toyah's website, and strictly limited to 1000 signed copies. One track from that EP, the Tim Elsenburg composition Experience, does not feature on the album.
