“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
