Keane is singer Tom Chaplin, drummer Richard Hughes, keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley and bassist Jesse Quin. Four years have elapsed since Keane's last album Perfect Symmetry; two since Night Train, the EP which followed its three full-length predecessors to the top of the British album charts, securing them a place in pop history. If Keane's feverishly loyal fan base wondered what the group's next album would sound like, they weren't the only ones. In the eight years following the release of 2004's 9x platinum Brit award winning Hopes & Fears, every Keane album has marked a clear progression from the previous one: the anxious emotional terrain mapped out by Under The Iron Sea to the iridescent poptimism of Perfect Symmetry. Strangeland was produced by Dan Grech (Radiohead, The Vaccines, Howling Bells), recorded at Sea Fog, Keane songwriter/pianist Tim Rice-Oxley's studio in South Downs, UK. ## Images ![Strangeland - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81MPAa7bBKL.jpg) ![Strangeland - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Hj9-Rk13L.jpg) ![Strangeland - Image 3](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71xwVqGiD0L.jpg) ![Strangeland - Image 4](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71Ub0UlfPaL.jpg) ![Strangeland - Image 5](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81XsC1FYpuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Return to the Keane I Love *by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013* When I heard "Black Rain" on Youtube, I thought, "Keane is BACK!"Having ardently loved the albums "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Under the Iron Sea," I was somewhat less interested in "Perfect Symmetry"--although not completely so. I found its songs to be more... agitated, replacing that melancholic piano of Keane's I love so much with more hairy electric guitar and abrasive synthesizers. [Compare "Love is the End" (yes!) to "You Haven't Told Me Anything" (eh).] Still, I like Perfect Symmetry's songs; not my favorite, but they cater to a different mood. However, when I heard "Stop for a Minute," I was crestfallen. I personally do not like interludes of rapping with lines like "And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles" (blech), especially mixed with my cuppa Keane, and none of the other songs on "Night Train" appealed to me, so I did not purchase it. Did my love for Keane end at "Love is the End"? [/cheesy]Fortunately, "Strangeland" is, to me, a return to Somewhere Only We Know and Under the Iron Sea. It's better than Perfect Symmetry, and much better than Night Train. Strangeland carries the torch of Keane's wistful, earthbound dream of a sound onward but is still distinctive in my mind from the former two favorites. As another reviewer said, I do not want to skip any of the songs on this album--which is saying a lot. Highly recommend :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't you look back, I've no doubt that I will see you on the road. *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2012* It is an absolute travesty that Americans have not fully embraced Keane like they embraced U2 and Coldplay and even The Killers. For it is from those seeds that Keane's music has taken shape. Of course there's also Travis as well. But the bottom line remains: Keane are far more popular in their native England than they are here. I mean, all of their albums have gone number one there. Can any American name any song from Keane? I still have people with furrowed brows say to me, "Keane? Who is that?"I am biased, of course, every so often I find a band or artist that, to my ears, can do no wrong. Keane is one of those bands, and I'd even go so far as to give them an edge over Coldplay. With their fourth album, "Strangeland", the band continues to make great melodic piano driven music. They've always reminded me of my favorite era in music, the new wave/punk movement of the late 70's and early 80's. These guys really know how to make melodies that are memorable and that soar, always stadium friendly.The deluxe version has four extra tracks. Without them there is a five star album here. With them, there's still a five star album here. Sure, there are songs that stand out from the pack, and all of these that I'm about to name should easily shoot into the American top 10. Songs like "You Are Young", "Silenced By The Night", "Sovereign Light Cafe", "On The Road", "The Starting Line", "Neon River" and even "Sea Fog". I think the only songs that might falter are "Watch How You Go", "Black Rain", "Day Will Come", "The Boys" and "It's Not True", but really, there are no weak tracks to be heard here. Everything is given a meticulous production and melodic sheen.Now, some critics have complained that "Strangeland" finds the band spinning its wheels and not pushing forward musically like they did on their last album, 2008's "Perfect Symmetry". Well that may be true, but there is no shortage of exciting material to be had here. Perhaps the band did go back to 2004's "Hopes And Fears" for some inspiration, but that was also a great album. In fact, Keane have yet to make a misstep musically. All of their albums are great.So, "Strangeland" gets five stars from me, something I don't often give out, because there are no songs that I can readily point to that tarnish the shine found throughout the album. It's cohesive musically and thematically.Here's how "Strangeland" compares to Keane's previous works:2004 Hopes And Fears: Four Stars2006 Under The Iron Sea: Four and a Half Stars2008 Perfect Symmetry: Five Stars2010 Night Train (EP): Three Stars2012 Strangeland: Five Stars ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It became one of my recent favorites *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2012* Keane is not for everyone. That should be made clear. It is not the kind of music you would jam in your car to look cool or necessarily listen to in front of your friends. But if you like slightly retro, melodic, piano and synth music with a bit of emotional drama that does not sound like anybody else, then read on.If you know the song "Somewhere only we know" then you know the excellent song craft can Keane exhibit. The melodies and words work their way into your mind and later you may find yourself humming the tune when nobody is listening. This band is not afraid to try new sounds or switch up the style, but 3 things remain in just about every Keane song... excellent expressive singing, piano, and thought provoking lyrics that paint a story in my head when I listen.This latest album is often compared to their past works or even a particular song, but bands cannot remain in one place... or they become period bands that only play their greatest hits. I think this album rates as high as anything they have done in the past and in some cases, I find myself hitting the repeat button to hear every nuance of a favorite song.Highlights are:Neon River - A lover moves on... one is left behind...Sea Fog - This melancholy song is like a sad memory of a close friend's deathSovereign Light Cafe - this reminds me that you cannot always return home once you leave it...The Starting Line - An inspirational song of pushing on despite setbacksEnjoy... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/13524461-strangeland](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/13524461-strangeland) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
