Keane NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- A drummer, a vocalist, a
guy on the piano -- and the UK flips out! We're stealing some
quotes. KEANE are hitting the US on a very limited run so if you
want to be a know-it-all, I-told-you-so, smarty-pants, come check
them out ... Full length coming soon. "Their debut single,
"Everybody's Changing," has found a home at the indie label Fierce
Panda (whose roster includes first releases from Coldplay, Idlewild
and Supergrass). So beautiful and perfectly formed is the song, the
band seem destined for greatness ... Chaplin's choirboylike voice
is a beguiling blend of Harry Nilsson, Eric Carmen, Chris Martin
and Fran Healy. Appropriately the song touches base with both
"Everybody's Talkin'" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." The
ghostly piano motif; the hi-hat's entry in the chorus; the
juxtaposition of forlorn sentiments with ascending major chords;
the finale's inevitable but deadly suspension in the bass guitar;
all demand submission from the listener. Yes, it's manipulative
(and not for the recently heartbroken). But it's also
three-and-a-half minutes of pure pop loveliness." -- London Sunday
Times "Chaplin's voice arcs high and clear over elegiac piano.
Keane sound like the Pet Shop Boys stripped of their irritating
irony, painting out fraught emotions in breathtakingly broad
strokes. There's no cluttersome guitars here, no halfbaked slogans
-- just tremulous voice, piano-synth and drums -- and it's this
clarity that's Keane's greatest strength. " -- NME "Keane are no
ordinary trio. It's a drummer, keyboard player and a singer who has
an enormous, likable voice. Molded together they deliver a sound
somewhere between a scuffed Coldplay and a frankly bewildered
Beautiful South." -- Radio 1 Nov. 1 Intersection Grand Rapids, MI
