Keane are an English rock band from Battle, East Sussex. They have gained worldwide recognition for their unique sound and captivating performances. Originally a guitar band with Dominic Scott, they underwent a transformation in 2001 when they embraced the piano as their primary instrument and showcased Tom Chaplin's soft voice and falsetto as the frontman. Their third LP, Perfect Symmetry, introduced a wider range of electronic textures while still incorporating guitars into their music.
With roots dating back to 1999, Keane's earliest known recordings reflect their evolution as musicians over the years. After parting ways with Scott in late 2001, the band embarked on a new musical journey that allowed them to explore different sounds and experiment with various instruments.
Their album Perfect Symmetry marked a significant turning point for Keane as it demonstrated their willingness to embrace electronic elements alongside traditional rock instrumentation. This evolution was evident during the promotional tour following their previous album Under the Iron Sea.

Written by Keane and produced by David Kosten and the band themselves, Cause and Effect Keane’s 5th studio album features 11 new songs recorded in London and Sussex. Their 4 previous albums have all entered the UK charts at number 1.

The birth of this new album came as something of a surprise even to the band. Singer Tom Chaplin had released two successful solo albums but missed his old sparring partner Tim Rice-Oxley. “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” Tom says. Meanwhile Tim found his life falling apart and from the ashes had written an album’s worth of incredibly personal songs fuelled by humour as well as pain. When Tom, bassist Jesse Quin and drummer Richard Hughes heard the songs, they were immediately drawn to them both sonically and lyrically. "Hopes and Fears was a break-up album too, but it was about a break-up when I was 19,” Tim explains. “It’s a bit different when you’re older and you’ve got kids – your whole little world shifts on its axis.”
