Keane working on being less cool

Keane are recording a new album in Berlin with producer Stuart Price, and keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley says they are aiming to make the music as uncool as possible.

Keane are currently in Berlin, and hard at work on a new album, which is being produced by the almost legendary Stuart Price. However, the band's Tim Rice-Oxley took some time out to explain to fans via the band's website that they're trying to make the music as uncool as possible. Some would say that's not hard, for Keane, but that's not my opinion, and I couldn't possibly comment.

The keyboardist wrote: "The more tasteless and uncool we can make our music the better, and that only when you lose the fear of breaking the unwritten rules of musical etiquette can you make a really great album."
