Keane announce details of 'Hopes and Fears' 20th anniversary release
Keane have revealed details about their previously announced 20th anniversary edition of their breakthrough album Hopes and Fears.
Announced today, the release will arrive on May 10, and it’ll include a remastered version of the album, a collection of previously released and unreleased B-sides and rarities, and Hopes and Fears demos. Pre-orders can be made here.
Vocalist Tom Chaplin said this about making the record:
“I remember standing by that amazing old mixing desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made Hopes and Fears, listening to an early mix of ‘Somewhere Only We Know.’ I had this feeling that we’d come up with something that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!”
Keyboardist/songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley also said:
“When I think about these songs, I still picture us playing them in little rooms in pubs around the UK. I remember how exciting it was watching the crowds start to grow. Those songs opened the door to another dimension for us; everything that has happened in our lives since then was born out of that moment. It’s an incredible privilege for us that people are still listening after all this time.”
Keane will be touring to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary with sold-out shows in the U.K., Europe, and several spots in North America. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
