British pop-rockers Keane are set to commemorate a decade of releases with a new greatest hits compilation in November.
While most knowledge of the Sussex band begins and ends with 2004′s radio-ready, piano-led ballad “Somewhere Only We Know” (a modest No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100), Keane have become quite a driving force in U.K. pop/rock. All four of their studio albums (and one extended EP) have topped the British charts, and they’ve amassed 10 Top 40 hits, including Top 10s “Everybody’s Changing,” “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Bedshaped,” all from 2004 debut Hopes and Fears, and the rollicking “Is It Any Wonder?” from 2006′s Under the Iron Sea. (In 2008, both albums were named on Q‘s list of the best British albums; Keane were the only band to have two albums in the Top 20 – The Beatles, Radiohead and Oasis all settled for one apiece in the same space.)
The Best of Keane will be available in several formats: a single-disc overview featuring 20 tracks, including selections from Hopes and Fears, Under the Iron Sea, Perfect Symmetry (2008), the EP Night Train (2010) and Strangeland (2012) as well as two new songs; a double-disc set collecting an extra disc of B-sides (many unavailable outside of U.K. CD singles) and a super deluxe version, to feature both CDs, a DVD of an acoustic concert (slated for recording later this month) and a 7″ x 7″, 100-page hardback book.
All formats will street worldwide on November 11. Click here for a new interview frontman Tom Chaplin gave to Rolling Stone about the compilation, and keep an eye out here for when Amazon links go live. In the meantime, the track list for both discs is after the jump.
