"Spiralling": named Best Track at the 2008 Q Awards
Keane land Best Track award
Keane’s comeback single Spiralling was today named the best track of the year at the 2008 Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka.
The single – their first taste of third album Perfect Symmetry – was downloaded more than half a million times in a week after it was offered as a free download.
The prize – sponsored by by SingStar – was voted for by the readers of Q and Qthemusic.com. Last year the best track category was won by Manic Street Preachers for Your Love Alone Is Not Enough.
Collecting the award, Keane singer Tom Chaplin quipped: “I just read the Q review of our record and ironically the only track they hated was Spiralling. So thankyou for the readers of Q for disagreeing with the editor!”
Other nominees for the 2008 award were:
Duffy – Mercy
Coldplay - Violet Hill
Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name

After selling a total 8m copies with their first two LPs, and with the housing market on the skids, Keane - so often denegrated as purveyors of sappy, let's-settle-down-together mortgage-rock - are changing their business model. Perfect Symmetry, their third album, is out on October 13 and early reports suggest it casts off their earnest, piano-pounding and, frankly, wearying formula for something sparky, 1980s-influenced and fun even. For once, you can believe the hype.
The atmosphere at this preview gig, organised by the Pravda of music journalism, Q magazine, was overwhelmingly affirmative, but the band's dash and vigour vindicated their new direction. They emerged to the Top Gun theme onto a stage that had just been strafed by sodium lights. The backdrop was a mural of interlocking triangles in red, yellow and blue, one of which had taken 3D form, like a large slice of cheese, to occupy Richard Hughes's drumkit. For a group hitherto as bold as washing powder, the design was as multicoloured as Swap Shop.
Happily, the new material was equally vibrant. "You took the pieces of the dreams that you had / because you don't like the way they seem to be going," sang Tom Chaplin, coltishly clean-cut with his chubby days and cocaine nights far behind him, during "The Lovers Are Losing" - lyrics for a loan default if ever you needed them. Yet the epic whinging that verged on the insufferable in earlier output appears replaced by brash, credit-crunch-be-damned repossession pop.
"If in doubt, listen to David Bowie," is the motto for any band seeking to change their sound, and Keane have clearly been listening intently. "The Lovers Are Losing" cribs the propulsive drone from the start of "Heroes", while "Better Than This" echoes to those shrill, stabbing synth-tones that act like depth-charges in "Ashes to Ashes". I'm not complaining, because this is the most exciting music Keane have made - and judging from the elastic way Tim Rice-Oxley jiggled on his piano stool, their songwriter knows it, too.
Old favourites such as "Somewhere Only We Know" were triumphantly received, but the band, augmented powerfully to a four-piece, looked relieved to be moving on. Perfect Symmetry isn't their Kid A, but it could be their Achtung Baby.Tel )20 7344 0044

Keane on Rolling Stone Magazine
Tom Chaplin: "...IF YOU'RE BRAVE ENOUGH TO DO IT,
IT CAN BE LIBERATING"."
Keane
Perfect Symmetry 10/14
"We almost lost everything," says Keane singer Tom Chaplin, referring to his rehab stint in 2006 and what he calls the "claustrophobic" sound of that year's Under the Iron Sea. "We had our troubles, so we decided to just enjoy ourselves." Hence the gushier synth-poppy textures on the band's third album, produced in part by Madonna collaborator Stuart Price. "We weren't sure if we were going to step into grotesque territory," says Chaplin of the trio's newly expansive sound. "But if you're brave enough to do it, it can be liberating."

Keane: "My Shadow" - the newest b-side from Perfect Symmetry
"My Shadow" é a nova música "B-Side" do novo album "Perfect Symmetry" que foi lançada no site da editora dos Keane: Interscope. Enjoy!
"Epic - a slow building anthem, in the best traditions of classic Keane such as On A Day Like Today. Except with guitars as well as piano and synth in the mix - and all the better for it. That boy Chaplin has really been on fire - vocals on this are massive."

My Shadow - Lyrics
It’s time to make a start
To get to know your heart
Time to show your face
Time to take your place
In every speck of dust
In every universe
When you feel most alone
You will not be alone
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you
Shine a light
And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you will see my footprints
On every floor
It only takes a spark
To tear the world apart
These tiny little things
That make it all begin
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you
Shine a light
And you will see my shadow
On every wall
And you will see my reflection
In your freefall
Ooooooooh
Ooh ooh
Ooooooooh
Ooooh ooh
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you
Shine a light
Cuz when your back’s against the wall
That’s when you show no fear at all
And when you’re running out of time
That’s when you hitch your star to mine
We won’t be leaving by the same road
That we came by
...
