ADRIAN THRILLS: Keane's debut album, Hopes And Fears, in 2004, was one of the few bands to sing of youth as well as Keane. The Sussex company framed their salad days on a track like Somewhere We Know and Everybody's Changing, launching a career that saw their first five LPs top the UK charts. Capturing the mood swings of a swollen yet unbowed forty-something is less glamorous, but it's what Tom Chaplin is trying to do on his new solo album, Midpoint. The singer, 43, came to a close when Keane's Cause And Effect tour was cancelled due to the pandemic, and he began writing songs summing up his middle-age thoughts.
