Strangeland (album)
''Strangeland'' is the fourth studio album by English alternative rock band Keane, released in May 2012 through Island Records. It is their first full-length album since ''Perfect Symmetry'' (2008), as well as the first to feature bassist Jesse Quin as an official member.
Two singles were released preceding the album's release: "Silenced by the Night" and "Disconnected". The former was released internationally on 13 March 2012, while the latter was released on 27 April 2012. The video for "Disconnected" won Best Video at the Q Awards on 22 October 2012. Upon its release, the album received generally average reviews from music critics. The album became their fifth consecutive number-one album on the UK Albums Chart.
== Background ==
Keane began working on demo tracks for ''Strangeland'' in 2010. In May 2011 the band met up with English producer Dan Grech-Marguerat, who according to Tim Rice-Oxley is "a massive Keane fan". The producer said the band wanted to "() back to the songwriting of their first two albums", while making an album that sounded "rich and simpler". According to Rice-Oxley, the album is inspired by The Vaccines' album ''What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?'' (2011), which was produced by Grech-Marguerat: "We loved what Dan Grech did on The Vaccines album. It had just come out. He'd also done stuff with Radiohead and produced the second Howling Bells album, which I loved."〔
Compared to Keane's previous full-length studio album ''Perfect Symmetry'' (2008), the album focuses more on songwriting: "We wanted it be less production led and focus on making sure that the songs were great. You write a lot of shit songs to get to the good ones." Tom Chaplin also said the sound of the album is reminiscent of earlier Keane, calling ''Perfect Symmetry'' "a bit self-indulgent".〔
