• Track Listing

This e.p. is a collection of songs written by Kelley Lockman, that are at times angry, sentimental, and even a bit tongue in check. The songs reflect his feelings about these modern times. The sound on the record begins with the dark, semi-apocalyptic, march of 'i see,' which is a bit of a musical blend between the Smashing Pumpkins and Bob Dylan. It is followed by, 'Like a Spider to a Wasp,' which stays lyrically in theme with 'i see' but the music is a bit more electro-pop. The next two songs on the record are more stripped down arrangements. 'Way of the Working Man' is a folk tune with a whimsical take on the banking industry and the plight of the American worker. 'Man on the Hill' is a spiritual and philosophical examination of they way humans often find themselves following malevolent authority figures. The fifth track 'Star' returns to a blind of rock and electro-pop ending with a blazing guitar solo. Finally the record ends with the emotional 'What Might Come Next.' Which will leave the listener, after hearing to this well crafted first e.p., wondering 'what will come next for Kelley Lockman and the Skeleton Keys.'
