Album history and information

After the release of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, Keane embarked upon a world tour that reached virtually all Europe and North America and which culminated on October 2005. As seen on Strangers, the band had been having trouble since the middle of 2004, shortly after the release of the debut. The suggestion "Hamburg Song" is about the bad-turned relationship between singer Tom Chaplin and pianist Tim Rice-Oxley - composed circa August 2004 - develops the focus of the conflict. During the tour, Rice-Oxley kept composing new songs that would later appear in future releases such as B-sides "Let It Slide" and "Thin Air". According to Chaplin, Rice-Oxley had composed at least 50 new tracks as of April 2006.

The name of the album is based on a lyric appearing on the track, "Crystal Ball" which reads "I've lost my heart, I buried it too deep, under the Iron Sea". It also shares title with the eighth track and Keane's first instrumental, "The Iron Sea". The "Iron Sea" is the metaphoric name for the group's (especially Rice-Oxley's) preoccupations about their uncertain future and the sudden fame they were having. Crystal Ball is a song performed and composed by English piano rock band Keane, and its featured on their second studio album, Under the Iron Sea. ...


The album's title was announced by a handwritten note, signed by the entire band, reading:

Hello everyone, we just wanted to let you know that our new album is called "under the iron sea" and will be out on June 12th. Tom Tim Rich

"Nothing in My Way" (previously known as "Nothing in Your Way"), "Try Again" and "Hamburg Song" debuted between late 2004 and 2005 during the Hopes and Fears Tour. The two latter songs made their first appearance on Strangers, still on demo version while the first only appeared until the album's release. The three first singles, "Is It Any Wonder?", "Atlantic" and "Crystal Ball", were premiered at a secret gig in London on April 5. Nothing In My Way is a song performed and composed by English piano rock and alternative rock band Keane that appears as the third track on their second album, Under the Iron Sea. ... Try Again is a song performed and composed by English piano rock and alternative rock band Keane that appears as the tenth track on their second album, Under the Iron Sea. ...

Notable changes from the previous releases by Keane during the Hopes and Fears era, are the typeface and style of the cover art. Sanna Annukka, an artist from Brighton, designed the cover art for all Keane releases since March 2006, when this album's cover art was developed (on March 14). The typeface also changed from the "Cochin" typeface used on the 2004 and 2005 releases. The newer font was specially designed for Keane (but no specific name was given apart from the "UTIS" fan-name). For the origin and evolution of fonts, see History of western typography. ...

The first pre-release before the album was "Atlantic", which was issued as a download-only music video single on April 25, featuring a specially extended version of the song incorporating the outro from album track "The Iron Sea". Irvine Welsh, author of the novel Trainspotting, directed the video, which was filmed in black and white on a remote Sussex beach, and did not feature the band. "Is It Any Wonder?" followed as the first single proper, out May 29. Its video was directed by Kevin Godley, best known for his work on music videos for The Police and Duran Duran in the mid-1980s.

Musical evolution

This album marked the transition from purely piano-driven Hopes and Fears to more progressive, sophisticated music, again without using guitars. All songs on the album and b-sides from the singles use these sounds. As seen on Strangers, Rice-Oxley creates these sounds using the distortion pedals and keyboards connected to the CP70 piano. The sound can be recreated by distorting the piano sound and combining with distorted gothic chorus effect on a digital piano. Strangers is English piano rock band Keanes first musical-documentary DVD. It was named Strangers as their feelings before triumphing in music and as a reference to the song We Might As Well Be Strangers appearing on their debut album Hopes and Fears. ...


Perhaps one of the most notable changes on Under the Iron Sea is the effect pedal-created effects on several songs on the album, most notably "Is It Any Wonder?" and "Crystal Ball". The b-sides for single releases such as "Nothing in My Way" and "Is It Any Wonder?" are influenced primarily by electronic music, suggesting that the band keep experimenting with their music and testing new instruments. An effects pedal, or stomp box, is an effects unit housed in a small metal chassis, used by musicians, usually electric guitar players as a guitar effects pedal, but sometimes players of other instruments including keyboards, violin, or cello. ...

Track information

Music samples:
"Atlantic"
Main article: Atlantic (song)
"Atlantic" was the first single off the album, only a download video. It charted at number 35.
"Is It Any Wonder?"
Main article: Is It Any Wonder?
"Is It Any Wonder" is the only Keane song completely composed using distortion piano effects pedals.
"Nothing In My Way"
Main article: Nothing In My Way
The song was be released as the fourth single of the album. It was previously called "Nothing In Your Way".
"Leaving So Soon?"
"Leaving So Soon?" was the last song composed for the album, in 2005. The song is considered as a fan favourite and it remains as the Keane song with the highest tempo ever released (144). Written by Rice-Oxley, it has been rumoured that the lyrics are aimed at Tom after the band had an argument.
It's a defence of the three of us in the band
"A Bad Dream"
Main article: A Bad Dream
This song was released as the last single from the album on early 2007.
"Hamburg Song"
"Hamburg Song" is the only organ-voice Keane song to date. The song talks about Rice-Oxley troubles with Tom Chaplin and how he feels. The song was premiered on October 20, 2004 as a demo. The final version was slowed down and the organ sound changed a little. It doesn't feature drums but a few ride crashes on the outro.
"Put It Behind You"
Composed in mid 2004 because of Richard's break-up with his girlfriend. The song was first mentioned on Strangers by Rice-Oxley. A demo version of this song is included on the Under the Iron Sea DVD. During live performances of this song, the three members of the band sing on the main chorus, contrary to the album version, in which Hughes doesn't sing.
"The Iron Sea"
It appears as a demo on Strangers, with Tim playing it at the Helioscentric Studios. "The Iron Sea" was composed in 2004 by him. On the UK version, "The Iron Sea" is the eight track but in the International version is a hidden song after "Put It Behind You". The outro was also used on the single version of "Atlantic". The place where the track title should be on the CD tracklist is marked as a change in the font colour (from dark blue to royal blue).
It's the key track of the record
"Crystal Ball"
Main article: Crystal Ball (song)
This song was the third single released, charting at number 20.
"Try Again"
The song is currently being released only in Germany as the fifth single from the album, on a 3 CDs maxi-single format.
"Broken Toy"
This is the longest song recorded by Keane on any of their releases, at 6:07 minutes in length (the longest song recorded is the rare track "The Happy Soldier" at 7:43). The song has split opinion amongst the fanbase, due to the fact it is a marked stylistic departure from previous Keane songs. However because of this, it is also viewed as possibly the best indicator yet as to which direction the band may take on their third album.[2]
"The Frog Prince"
The closing track is a song about Johnny Borrell from Razorlight.
