KEANE FOR SOMETHING NEW?

We made mention as part of yesterday's news wrap that British outfit Keane's new album 'Strangeland' had been locked into the local schedule for a May 11 release in a couple of different variations.
News through from their local label Universal today is that the lead single from said album is due to hit digital retail at the end of next week.
The band, led ably by vocalist Tim Rice-Oxley, burst onto the scene in 2004 with their intoxicating debut 'Somewhere Only We Know' and followed that up with the stellar 'Everybody's Changing'. Three albums and a swag of singles later, the band is very much looking forward to the release of their fourth LP.
"'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," promised Tim in a statement. "I love the idea of the journey through 'Strangeland' being a journey of redemption."
'Silenced By The Night' is due at digital retail on Friday April 06, with the album 'Strangeland' set for Aussie release in standard, expanded and CD/DVD editions on Friday May 11.
