Talking about the song, the former Genesis guitarist says; “I'm excited by the imminent release of my new album, 'The Night Siren', which includes this track, 'In The Skeleton Gallery'. You know that ancient childhood night terror which creeps up on you in a dark moment when you're least expecting it... This track moves from a dream-like groove with a Middle Eastern tinged accompaniment through to a sinister march and on to an out-there nightmare ride, before the child's box of tricks reclaims it and the lid is finally closed”
