Skeleton Key - In My Mind

Review by Mike Baker

In My Mind, the latest album by Skeleton Key, is a masterpiece of experimental rock music. The band, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Chris Maxwell, bassist Erik Sanko, and drummer Matthias Bossi, has crafted a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful.

The album opens with the track "Saucer," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie, otherworldly sound. The band's use of unconventional instruments such as a saw, a theremin, and a melodica, adds to the unique sound of the album.

The lyrics on In My Mind are introspective and thought-provoking, touching on themes of mental health, isolation, and the search for meaning. Maxwell's vocals are raw and emotional, perfectly conveying the weight of the lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Barker of the Dupes," which features a haunting melody and a chorus that will stick with listeners long after the song is over. "The World is Watching" is another standout track, with its driving beat and catchy guitar riffs.

Summary by Mike Baker

In My Mind is an incredible album that showcases Skeleton Key's talent as musicians and songwriters. It's a must-listen for fans of experimental rock music and anyone looking for an album that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in music.
