Erik Sanko is the leading light in the much admired Skeleton Key and was a member of John Lurie’s Lounge Lizards for over 15 years. He also helps out such luminaries as Yoko Ono, Jim Carroll and John Cale from time to time. Rumour has it that he has also been seen playing with the newly reformed Contortions. Sounding like the journals of an alchemist set to the music of your grandmother’s broken pump organ, Sanko fashions oddly compelling songs from mangled melody and ragged scraps of rhyme.
