Keane give away new song for free today (Aug 4)

Band demonstrate new direction with download

Keane have made a new track from their third album available as a free download today (August 4).

The band are giving away 'Spiralling' via their website Keanemusic.com from 11am (BST) for one week, after which it becomes a pay for download.

Frontman Tom Chaplin said the track, recorded in Berlin, is "a train of thought about human endeavour, built on an outrageous groove".

As previously reported, Keane have declared they \"ignored the rules of good taste\" for their third album, 'Perfect Symmetry', which is released on October 13.

It's quite dance based and has synth but I like it, well done Mr Chaplin, Mr Rice-Oxly and Mr Hughes, top job.

A good proportion of Keane haters do so because this band appeared to have no balls when it came to progressing and creating something remotely interesting. What a surprise then that when they do announce a daring new sound 'ignoring the rules of good taste' it turns out to be the 'new' sound of every indie disco from the last two years or so. I'll be sticking with another album recorded in Berlin which really did do what Keane promised... 'Baby, I've been, breaking glass in your room again'!

If I didnt know it was Keane, Id have sworn it was James! Really sounds like Tim Booth at times during the song.
