 Keane songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley has revealed in an interview how the band nearly split up during the studio sessions for the new album.
On the back of the success of debut album 'Hopes & Fears', the band went straight back to the studio without taking a break. And emotions nearly boiled over to "wanting to kill each other or escape from each other".
In an interview with MTV, Tim said "We had been through some big highs and big lows over the past two years, from playing Live 8 and Radio City Music Hall to being on a bus together, wanting to kill each other or escape from each other.
"If we had any sense, we would've taken a break, but we had this great idea to take all those emotions and head directly into the studio, and, well, it got really, really intense for a while.
"It got to the point where I was afraid that I would have to wake up the following morning and think about what I was going to do next.
"To suddenly realize that everything was disappearing was incredibly frightening. We all loved the music we were making so much, but when you're dealing with things that were really personal to all of us, when you immerse yourself in the emotions we were writing about, it can't help but bring up bad things.
"Slowly we all realized that none of us wanted this band to end. We were willing each other on, and it was shaky for a bit until we realized that the album was the most amazing thing we'd ever done."
