Lyrics and History: Under the Iron Sea
“In these songs, we created a kind of sinister fairytale-world-gone-wrong, a feeling of confusion and numbness, represented by a dark place under an impenetrable iron sea. We wrote Under the Iron Sea because we needed a record that was going to make us feel alive again.” Keane 

Released in 2006, Keane’s second album is a masterpiece of modern pop, and a beguiling reflection of the tumultuous times the band were navigating. 

Now, twenty years on, featuring full album lyrics, original notebook reproductions, stunning artwork and photographs, alongside intimate insights from the band, this beautifully crafted hardback book tells the story of Under the Iron Sea.

Lyrics and History: Hopes and Fears
In 2004, Keane released their debut album, Hopes and Fears, to widespread critical acclaim.

Hopes and Fears went on to sell millions of copies worldwide and has become one of the most beloved albums of the 21st century.

Now, with full album lyrics, including B-sides and rarities, original notebook scans, photographs and ephemera, alongside unprecedented insights and behind-the-scenes reflections from the members of the band, this beautifully presented hardback book celebrates the 20th anniversary of this iconic album.
