Product Description

Hailing from Sussex, guitar-less 3-piece Keane, have managed to burst into the public domain thanks to their melody thick slabs of indie brilliance ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ and ‘Everybody’s Changing’. ‘Hopes And Fears’, their debut album, threatens to believe all the hype and push the young trio into new-Coldplay territory. Pianos tinkle with hook-laden simplicity, songs soar to the heavens in a mix of melancholy tales and innocent desires, and singer Tom Chaplin produces a yearning falsetto that may one day bag him an A-list girlfriend.

Opening with the breakthrough single, Keane set out their stall from the off. This is an album for the people jammed full of mini-anthems that will fill arenas and festivals throughout 2004 and beyond. Every track is doused in sublime genius that will find a home in record collections of the sixes to sixties. Like ‘The Man Who…’, ‘White Ladder’ and ‘Rush Of Blood To The Head’ this is a crossover record that defies categorisation and credibility yet will remain universally loved. The aching majesty of ‘She Has No Time’, the 70s soft rock of ‘Can’t Stop Now’ and the sumptuous pop of ‘Bend And Break’ are all future hits in waiting that will make Keane undoubtable chart toppers who must surely have supped from some golden chalice of songwriting.

To call Keane the new Coldplay does them a disservice. Keane are their own band – brave, bold and beautiful. A band who have written a phenomenal debut that appears almost implausibly classic even after one listen. A remarkable first outing that could make them the biggest band in Britain…your move Mr Martin.
