Keane - Night Train
Thursday 29 April 2010
The band’s most startling release yet sees them enjoying their creative freedom.
“Everybody’s changing, and I don’t feel the same,” Keane told us back in 2004. Damn right. From Night Train’s ominous opening soundscape House Lights, this stop-gap mini-album marks new territory for the East Sussex trio. They’ve a rapper in tow for two tracks and a Japanese baile funk MC poppet for another (a cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra’s Ishin Denshin), while Your Love features keyboardist/songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley’s first lead vocal. At just 31 minutes Night Train is as brief as it is startling. Well, startling to a Keane fan, but then we were hardly going to be in Sun Ra territory here, were we?
