The Retrospective EPs are a series of digitalEPs by Englishrock band Keane, with the first being released on 5 December 2008[1] as the Everybody's Changing EP or Retrospective EP1. The cover art features the font Cochin for the first time since the release of "Bend and Break" in 2005.
Everybody's Changing
The first Retrospective EP was the band's 2003 and 2004 hit single "Everybody's Changing", from their debut album Hopes and Fears. The final track "Into the Light" was never released, and features pianist Rice-Oxley on lead vocals. Although this is the third release by the band marketed as an EP, none of them has actually featured the common studio CD format.

Retrospective EP2 was based around the songs Keane recorded with producer James Sanger in France during the early 2000s, comprising demos of "Sunshine" and "This Is the Last Time". It also includes a demo for "The Happy Soldier", previously known by leaked recordings, and the demo of "Maps", a version never heard before. It was leaked before release in early April 2010[2] on the online music store7digital. It was officially released on 29 June 2010.
