   Keane's third album, Perfect Symmetry, is released on October 13th 2008
   (October 14th in the US)

   Biography 2008

   Keane are back. After over 8 million sales of Hopes And Fears (2004) and
   Under The Iron Sea (2006) combined, sold-out arena tours, awards spanning
   Ivor Novellos to BRITs, plus an undeniable collection of hits including Is It
   Any Wonder?, Everybody’s Changing, Crystal Ball and Somewhere Only We Know,
   one of Britain’s best-loved bands are about to surprise and thrill all over
   again.

   Avowed believers in never retreading old ground, Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley
   and Richard Hughes return with Perfect Symmetry, a Technicolor explosion of
   stellar pop songs and pure, unashamed energy; the joy in which is audible in
   every finger-click and life-affirming chorus. As different as piano-helmed
   classic debut Hopes And Fears was from its darker cousin Under The Iron Sea,
   Perfect Symmetry finds Keane at the height of their powers. Confirming
   Rice-Oxley’s position as one of the finest British songwriters to emerge this
   decade, the 11-song set sees Keane throwing any last vestiges of caution to
   the wind and simply letting the music take them where it will. The result is
   a thrillingly bold album that’s as pleasurable to listen to as it was to
   make.

   While millions of paid-up Keane fans will immediately recognise Perfect
   Symmetry as a body of work that could have come from no other group, others
   are likely to be knocked sideways by their various leaps into uncharted
   territory. Indeed, after hearing download-record-breaking first taste
   Spiralling, it’s possible you might not have even recognised it the work of
   “the Somewhere Only We Know band”. Certainly, Perfect Symmetry is the first
   Keane album to feature musical saw, saxophone, vocals recorded through a
   drum; studio sessions in Berlin, Paris and London; their first self produced
   album, with input from esteemed producers Jon Brion (Rufus Wainwright; Kanye
   West) and Stuart Price (Madonna; Les Rhythmes Digitales) and the sound of
   three men yelping a delighted ‘Oooh!’ as virtually the first thing you hear.

   Enjoy!
