Speaking about the song, Altar Eagles revealed:

[su_quote]Skeletal is about that—an immensely talented musician and songwriter whose ability was squandered by self-sabotage. It is a song about the past and the future conspiring to steal one incredibly gifted person’s present.[/su_quote]

Alcock started off very young, writing songs professionally from 17 years of age and even earning a signing in his native Toronto after a series of event that showed his perseverance and not his musicianship. After his decision to turn pro, young Eric faced a myriad of challenges that have surely added to his person today. However, it was the encounter with DJ Khalil – a grammy winning producer who is also a New Royales‘ member – that spurred his writing hooks for other artists.

“Skeletal” follows up the single “Time Out“.

Altar Eagles is the solo project of Toronto native Erik Alcock, an active member of the production collective The New Royales. The team has already worked for major artists like Eminem, P!nk, Pitbull, and Professor Green. Most recently Alcock also wrote and sang the hook on “Can’t Figure It Out” by French Montana, Kanye West, and Nas.

Even if Altar Eagles’ original sound is a departure from the world of hip-hop, the music is actually more inspired by indie and pop music. The songwriting draws from the likes of Gorillaz, The Beatles, Tame Impala, and Kasabian creating a sound that has a foot in the past and a foot in the future.
