For Keane, 'Perfect Symmetry' Is A Chance to Start Anew


I had three one credit gift cards that I happened to win this summer from the music provider Upbeats.com. Three free songs from over a million to pick from. Without doing the math I'd say that the possibilities are endless.

So I started in the Top 100 section, and my eyes bulged ever so slightly. Okay, they bulged a lot. I saw a flashy album cover and beneath that the artist, Keane. I tried not to get too excited, they like to release little EPs and singles here and there. I took the single entitled 'Spiralling' to my e-Cart as quickly as I could and from there let my ears in on a little musical treat.

After that it was time to snoop. Indeed on October 13 in the UK, and only a day later for those devoted fans across the pond. The bands last full length album came in 2006 with Under The Iron Sea. However, Perfect Symmetry is promised to be a 'new, different Keane,' not only with their music but their image as well.

The single, 'Spiralling' is receiving airtime and is expected to be the best success on the album. Other notable tracks to look out for include; 'The Lovers Are Losing' and 'Love Is The End.'
