Produced by **Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, The Professionals)**, Skeleton Key is a 3-minute 20-second blast of upbeat/downbeat powerpop – a haunting tale of emotional pursuit, with spirited guitar lines and a chorus to die for. **Pre-save “Skeleton Key” here:** [https://orcd.co/skeletonkey](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=19539796.50492.1.49f99c3f2a33aa62679d49fdc4188c2f) Explains Marc: _“When the idea for Skeleton Key came to me, I was imagining the colours and dialogue of a suspenseful opening scene from a late ’60s Hammer horror film. It’s a song about discovering the darker side of someone and the futile attempt to escape the emotional powers that can unlock everything – though, as usual, there’s a dash of dark humour.”_ [⌊Marc Valentine⌉⌊Marc Valentine⌉[ The single is backed with a cover version of **The Shirelles’** **“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”** – a long-time favourite of Marc’s. Available as a download and a limited-edition coloured vinyl 7” with picture sleeve, Skeleton Key unlocks the door to Marc’s forthcoming album, ‘Basement Sparks’ (due in 2024) – and, we make no bones about it, is destined to embed itself in a good number of skulls this Halloween. Having honed his craft fronting cult pop-rockers Last Great Dreamers across four studio albums, Marc launched a solo career in 2022, his debut long-player Future Obscure picking up praise from an array of publications. **What they said about ‘Future Obscure’…** _“Melody that would slay daytime radio in a saner world… 9/10”_ _– **Vive Le Rock**_ _“Ace solo debut from the Last Great Dreamers frontman; a masterclass in melody and energy… 4/5” – **Mojo**_ _“Endlessly melodic… simultaneously touching and gloriously rambunctious” – **Classic Rock**_ _“A buoyant and joyous pop-infused blast of rock ’n’ roll” – **Louder Than War**_ “Skeleton Key” will be available for streaming and purchase through digital platforms from 27 October.
