Departure From EMI
In February 2008, EMI released "Pump Up the Volume" the third single from It's a Bit Complicated without informing the band. There was no physical release of the single and only a video was released after the single had been issued. Writing on the Art Brut website, the band stated; "It seems Art Brut have accidentally released a single. Yes, the rumours are true. But how could this happen, you may ask? Why were we not informed? Well, my friends, pick up any thread of incompetence and it will usually lead you to a record company. That's right, it seems EMI have decided to release 'Pump up the Volume' without informing either the band or myself, making any kind of widescale promotion rather difficult." On 1 March 2008, Argos subsequently revealed on his blog that Art Brut and EMI had amicably parted.
