New Keane album 'almost done'

Keane pianist Tim Rice-Oxley has revealed that the band have almost finished recording their third album.

In a posting on Keane's official website, he said the record will be "hypnotic and ethereal" and compared one unnamed track to Simon & Garfunkel.

"It's begging to burst into some kind of 'Only Living Boy in New York'-style [background vocal] extravaganza at the end," he said.

Rice-Oxley also revealed that a musical saw, which he first heard in the film Delicatessen, would feature prominently on the album.

"We've had brilliant musical saw players down to play, and it does sound utterly hypnotic and ethereal," he commented.
