NEW YORK, NY  [Thursday Feb.10.2005]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- In a couple months, British trio Keane will head to the studio to work on its next album. The band's piano-driven rock music, as heard on the record "Hopes and Fears," is a hit with listeners everywhere.

So is the band worried about the sophomore slump? Keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley tells MTV.com, "There's definitely some pressure, but it's good. We've always responded well to pressure, so hopefully we'll come up with something really fantastic."

Keane has already started writing songs for the next album and even recorded a few demos. Rice-Oxley says, "Everything is in limbo, but I think our first proper chunk of recording will be in April."

As for the album's release, no date's been set. Said Rice-Oxley, "We're going to really take our time to make a really great record. It's a bit too early to say much about it, but you know, we're very excited."
