Album review: MT Desolation - Mt Desolation (Island)
IN which, after a drunken night in a Dublin pub, Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin of Keane decide to make a Country album.
The opening brace of hoe-downs suggest they might have been better off staying in the snug.
Then the the gorgeously unfolding Bridal Gown shuffles into the picture, followed by the equally impressive State Of Our Affairs and, best of all Bitter Pill, a more poised and beautiful ballad than anything Keane have recorded.
Verdict: 3/5
