Keith - Vice &; Virtue

“the boys are back and are significantly better than before.” High Voltage
Vice & Virtue: two sides of a coin, two opposite approaches to life, and the inspiration behind the latest album from Manchester’s best-kept secret, Keith.   The follow-up to the band’s 2006 debut Red Thread, Vice & Virtue finds Keith creating a vast sonic playground. But for all the experimental and cerebral moments, there’s no slacking off in their commitment to melody and groove. It’s an album for both sides of the brain – the intellectual and visceral, the artistic and the mathematic. It’s eclectic but reigned in, and it’s the album that Keith have long had the potential to deliver.
Vice & Virtue unites Keith with Dan Carey, the production wunderkind behind Franz Ferdinand's latest album. The band looked to Carey to help realise their idea for a darker, more psychedelic, more unified palette, and that's exactly what he did, through whip-smart editing, electronic flourishes and a newly invigorated sound.
Now, the stage is set for Keith to take their rightful place in the nation’s record collection, striking a victory for intransient music, musicianship and, most of all, the power of a solid groove.
