About the Album

Best Of Keane is a compilation of the most popular songs from the British alt-rock and pop band. Keane released their first album in 2003 and become one of the most respected and heard rock bands in UK. This album is their first official compilation from the various single albums, to commemorate their completion of a decade of music since 2003.

The album consists of 20 tracks of their greatests hits from their four studio albums. The compilation has taken songs from Hopes And Fears, Under The Iron Sea, Perfect Symmetry and Strangeland. It also has one song called My Shadow from the Night Train EP, with the addition of two new singles called Higher Than The Sun and Won’t Be Broken. Their first commercial single song called Everybody’s Changing was released by Fierce Panda Records in 2003 and that brought them to the limelight. The single, Higher Than The Sun was aired by Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2, in 2013 to promote and launch this album.

The Keane band is known for their alternative rock, synth-pop, brit-pop and piano rock. As they progressed from their first two albums, they experimented with their songs in Perfect Summary and Night Train, which did not do too well for them. They realised their mistake and came back to the classic Keane style while doing Strangeland, which was a hit again.

Best Of Keane comes as an audio CD, which was released in 2013 by Interscope Records.
