Keane Set New Album Release and TV Appearance
. The band will release their fourth studio album Strangeland on May 8th in the U.S. The band will debut first single "Silenced By The Night" on Jimmy Kimmel Live March 12th (ABC, Midnight) before heading to Austin, TX for their very first showing at SXSW where they will play a handful of shows including Filter Magazine's party on March 15th and the Rolling Stone party on March 16th. Strangeland was produced by Dan Grech (Radiohead, The Vaccines, Howling Bells) at Sea Fog, Keane songwriter/pianist Tim Rice-Oxley's studio in South Downs, UK. Grech spoke exclusively with Billboard about his first collaboration with the group last May, who are now a four piece with the addition of new member bass player Jesse Quin who collaborated with Rice-Oxley on Mt. Desolation. Tim Rice-Oxley recently said of the album: "'Strangeland' feels like an adventure that brings with it different things for different people, and like any adventure is full of uncertainty, and the potential for mishap, as well as the possibility of amazing things and glorious discoveries. I love the idea of the journey through 'Strangeland' being a journey of redemption." "In many respects, it feels like the completion of a circle," says drummer Richard Hughes. " On the album you have songs that draw upon the experiences we used to share as kids, growing up in Battle. You can never really go back, of course. Once in a while though, after a good day, we'll go to the local pub and talk about everything and nothing until it's time to go home. Whatever it is that makes us Keane � that invisible glue � is still there. And you can hear it all over 'Strangeland'."
