Los componentes de Keane han tomado la decisión de hacer las maletas y marcharse de Gran Bretaña. Quieren dar un cambio a su imagen, y el destino elegido para conseguir este objetivo es Amíérica.El trío ha contado que deja su país porque está cansado de la gente que solo se fija en sus raíces (pertenecen a una clase social alta). Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley y Richard Hughes creen que un traslado a Estados Unidos, donde tienen un montón de fans cíélebres como Gwen Stefani y Kanye West, servirá para que tomen en serio su música.Tom ha revelado al Daily Star: "Es sorprendente cómo se ha extendido nuestra música en otros artistas, especialmente en Amíérica. Allí no estamos tan marcados con todos esos 'sambenitos' que nos han colgado en Gran Bretaña. Que si somos unos pijos, etc, aireando cosas que nada tienen que ver con nuestra música""Alli únicamente juzgan la música así que tenemos a toda esa gente estupenda y pronto contaremos con algunas colaboraciones emocionantes".A pesar de haber cambiado su estilo en su más reciente álbum, "Perfect Symmetry", el grupo admite su ambición de continuar evolucionando musicalmente: "Algunas bandas encuentran su estilo y se quedan estancadas. Pero hay otros que progresan como Radiohead, que siempre hacen algo diferente y nos sorprenden", dice Richard Hughes"En este momento lo estamos absorbiendo todo" comenta Tom Rice-Oxley. El grupo espera que su traslado a Estados Unidos les ayude a perfilar una nueva dirección en su sonido.
TOM CATCHES UP WITH KM.COM This week, keanemusic.com ran an entertaining two-part interview with Mr Tom Chaplin, in which he discusses such subjects as the band's productive recent studio session with rapper K'naan; the song Tom wrote ten years ago which has been covered by Annie Lennox; and Tim trying to emulate Jay-Z at karaoke in Brisbane.

HomeNoticiasMúsicaLo está petandoNUEVO DISCOKeane vuelve en mayo con 'Strangeland'Keane publicarán nuevo disco el 7 de mayo bajo el nombre de Strangeland, compuesto por 12 canciones que recordarán a los primeros discos de la banda británica y que promocionarán con una gira por el Reino Unido entre mayo y junio. Compartir0 ComentariosKeane | Foto: europafm.comeuropafm.com Barcelona | Actualizado el 28/02/2012 a las 12:45 horasKeane ha anunciado que lanzará su nuevo disco, Strangeland, el próximo 7 de mayo. Para este trabajo, el trío británico han contado con la colaboración de Dan Grech-Marguerat, productor tambiíén de The Vaccines.Strangeland, que será el cuarto álbum de estudio de Keane, incluirá 12 temas que se distanciarán un poco de la línea de su último trabajo, Perfect Symetry, recuperando el íéxito de sus primeros discos Hopes And Fears y Under The Iron Sea: "En muchos sentidos es como si se completara un círculo. En el álbum hay muchas canciones que se inspiran en experiencias vividas creciendo en Battle, siendo críos. No puedes volver atrás claro, pero de vez en cuando, despuíés de un buen día nos vamos a un pub y charlamos un poco de todo o nada, hasta que llega la hora de ir a casa. Sea lo que sea lo que nos hace ser Keane, ese pegamento invisible, aún sigue ahí. Y se puede escuchar en Strangeland", explica Richard Hughes, batería del grupo.Por otro lado, este será el primer trabajo de Keane con Jesse Quin (bajisita) como miembro oficial de la banda, que empezará su gira promocional junto a "invitados especiales" en el O2 Academy de Newcastle el 23 de mayo y que durará hasta el 8 de junio en el O2 Britxton Academy de Londres.Tracklist de Strangeland:1. You Are Young2. Silenced By The Night3. Disconnected4. Watch How You Go5. Sovereign Light Cafíé6. On The Road7. The Starting Line8. Black Rain9. Neon River10. Day Will Come11. In Your Own Time12.

El director Juan Antonio Bayona y el guionista Sergio G. Sánchez han dirigido juntos el video de Disconnected, una de las canciones del esperado nuevo álbum de la banda Keane, que lleva por título Strangeland y se editará el 7 de mayo (un día despuíés en España). Bayona y Sánchez trabajaron juntos por primera vez en la película de terror El Orfanato, que dirigió Bayona y cuyo guión es de Sánchez. Su segundo proyecto se estrenará a finales de año, con el título de Lo Imposible, un drama íépico sobre el Tsunami en Tailandia de 2004, protagonizado por Naomi Watts y Ewan McGregor. Bayona, Sánchez y la banda rodaron el video en una casa "encantada" de Barcelona, siguiendo la línea de la estíética de terror de los 70 característica del director. Han creado un guion surrealista a la vez que conmovedor que narra la historia de dos amantes que se han visto separados y lleva a cuestionar la noción de realidad y moralidad, informa Universal Music. Para Juan Antonio Bayona y Sergio G. Sánchez, "este no ha sido un encargo más". "Hemos pasado muchas horas disfrutando cada uno de los discos de Keane. Ha sido fantástico formar parte de su nuevo trabajo y una gozada que ellos lo hayan disfrutado tanto como nosotros", afirman. Por su parte, el vocalista Tom Chaplin asegura que todos salieron "entusiasmados" en cuanto vieron el resultado final. Además, apunta que rodaron en una "casa escalofriante al estilo de las películas de terror italianas de los años setenta". "Va a ser totalmente diferente a todo lo que hemos hecho hasta ahora. De hecho, todavía estamos escupiendo trozos de hojas secas de una de las escenas. La visión de Juan y Sergio es única y muy emocionante, ha sido una experiencia inspiradora", añade Chaplin. Por ahora no hay fecha para el estreno del video. Esta semana Keane estrenaban en radios de todo el mundo el primer single del disco, Silenced By The Night, ya disponible en formato digital en España. La banda está actualmente en Estados Unidos, donde actuarán por primera vez en el South By South West Festival.
