We bloody love Keane.
They are proof that sometimes in pop, you can have a weird band set-up (no guitars!!!1!!), not be particularly good-looking (sorry Tom - you have lost weight, but we still wouldn't), be posh (sorry Tim Rice-Oxley), have a personality-free drummer (sorry whatever the drummer's called) and still be INCREDIBLE.
Because what Keane have, dear readers, is tunes. Tune after tune. You can try and deny, and wonder why, but my-oh-my, I cannot lie. Massive tunes.
They have a new EP/album coming out (it's 8 songs) and the first track is out now - called Stop for a Minute (you'll need to stop for longer than that to watch the video as it is over 3 minutes long (this is weak - Ed)). It features a rapper called K'naan (sadly not named after a hilarious horse-tranquiliser/curry house story) and is a bit more hip-hop than we're used to, but it completely works. It is, unsurprisingly, a tune, and features more great oh-oh-ohing - not quite the whoooooahing genius of Spiralling, but close.
Here is the video. It is obviously inspired by Google Street View, so it's quite surprising that it doesn't just feature Tom, Tim and the other one just looking for their own houses.
