Keane新專輯Strangeland(夢奇地)連兩週攻佔英國專輯榜冠軍，為繼Hopes and Fears(希望與恐懼)、Under the Iron Sea(深海之音)、Perfect Symmetry(完美對稱)和前年的Night Train(EP，夜行列車)後，Keane的第五張冠軍作品。

Strangeland在歐洲多數國家專輯榜的排名都比Perfect Symmetry好，但在北美卻呈現下滑趨勢，近兩周累積銷售量15.7萬張也略低於08年同時期的Perfect Symmetry，未來專輯銷售量能否超越Perfect Symmetry，還得看在專輯榜待的週數而定。

而新專輯中的Sovereign Light Café也確定將成為下一支單曲，預計月底公布MV，6月正式發行。

Sovereign Light Café

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
When we thought about things we were gonna do
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away
I'm a better man now than I was that day

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
Look for you on Marley Lane
In every building, every streetlight
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
You can get a big house and a faster car
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la laYeah,
I'm going where the people know my name
La la la la la la la laYeah,
I'm going where the people know my name
