The latest record from Doves was harder to produce than their previous efforts.
Recording the new Doves album was almost a form of "therapy" for the band, it has been claimed.
Speaking to NME.com, lead singer Jimi Goodwin said that making Kingdom of Rust, their forth effort, helped the group to tackle some hard times.
Goodwin commented: "Going to work was helpful and therapy sometimes to get through some not so good times in some of our lives."
However, he claimed that recording the new album was not always an easy process, with it taking them longer than usual to work out what they wanted to achieve with the new material.
The frontman added that the members of Doves still get on with each other like they used to, only it took more effort to bring out their chemistry for the latest record.
Last month, Doves confirmed their appearance at the Glastonbury festival, saying they are happy to be playing the John Peel Stage as it was the site of their first appearance at the event.
