Skeleton Key is an American rock band based in New York City, United States.
[1] His vision was to create a sound "luxurious, yet affordable,"[2] using antique microphones, primitive guitars, and unconventional percussion.
"[2] The following year saw the band release their first full-length album, Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon, on Capitol Records.
The album was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998 for its Stefan Sagmeister-designed artwork, which featured holes punched through the booklet of liner notes and, for promotional copies, a steel spike housed within the spine enclosure of the CD jewel case.
In early 2011 the band successfully raised over $9,000 on the online crowdfunding website Kickstarter,[4] used to finish production of their next album.
