Image This weeks pick of the releases for the Stereoboard.com CD of the Week is the new album from indie favourites Keane.


The band's follow-up to 2004's debut 'Hopes & Fears' is a change in direction for the boys, showing a darker side to their sound, and despite the lack of guitars they still manage to muster an anthemic offering worthy of any record collection.

From HMV, "In 2004 Keane were catapulted into the mainstream consciousness with their stirring and majestic take on the epic-indie sound that had already proved successful for the likes of Snow Patrol, Coldplay and Embrace. Infamous for their distinct lack of guitars in favour of delicious slabs of synth-rock and piano-driven indie brilliance, Keane are now back with their sophomore album, 'Under The Iron Sea'.

Described by the band as a darker and more raw experience, 'Under The Iron Sea' is the sound of Keane pushing the boundaries of soaring melodica and hook-laden songs that equally shock and excite. Including the rousing and pulsating new single 'Is It Any Wonder?', a track that finds the band at their most confident and anthemic, 'Under The Iron Sea' looks set to be one of the biggest albums of the year. "
