Keane continue digital EP series

Keane have continued their series of retrospective digital EPs with the online release of the Sunshine EP.

The recording follows last year's Everybody's Changing EP and is available through the band's own download store.

Frontman Tom Chaplin said: "Here is the second of our trips down memory lane, looking back at the time we began to get songs together for Hopes & Fears.

"In the summer of 2001 we decided to move out of London after a series of disappointments but with the prospect of a balmy autumn in northern France with our new friend (and mad musical brain) James Sanger."

He added: "Many of the songs for the album materialised around this period and we enjoyed several months of real fun and creativity, as well as gaining loads of experience in James's sprawling (and chaotic) farm house in Barneville-Carteret.

"We had many happy days camped in the garden, making music, barbecuing fresh mackerel caught on our fishing trips and getting drunk in the quaint local bars! James employed many innovative approaches to recording, as well as letting us loose on his huge collection of vintage synths."
