Big news people, Keane have announced they will release their third album, 'Perfect Symmetry', on 13 Oct. You're all excited, right? To help you work up some enthusiasm for this event, the band have put up a countdown timer to that date on their website. They've also put up the actual date, though. So, you could just memorise that and be done with it.
The band said of the album: "We started out in Paris, where Jon Brion inspired us to create first and think later. We took the night train to Berlin, where everything came together in an avalanche of experimentation that took us all by surprise; where we made a pact with Stuart Price to ignore the rules of good taste; where we were hypnotised by Marlene Dietrich and spent many a long night throwing ideas around in the crumbling 'Cabaret'-esque glamour of our favourite bar. We've hidden ourselves away in the depths of the English countryside, recorded a new track in London at the last possible moment, and now we're in Los Angeles tying up the loose ends. We've had an amazing time making this album and we're very, very proud of it. It's called 'Perfect Symmetry' and will be released on 13 Oct".
