Art Brut quitte EMI.
Reformulation: EMI quitte Art Brut. En effet il semble que le groupe se soit tout simplement fait jeté du label.
EMI avait, rappelons-le, sorti un single du groupe sans les en tenir informé et de toutes façons le label ne dégage pas une odeur de sainteté ces temps-ci.
Art Brut a posté une jolie lettre de rupture sur son site, à lire dans la suite.
« Dearest Internet, it looks like our much loved adventurers just couldn’t work it out with EMI after all. That’s right, after staying up well into the night talking it over, they have both decided it best if they see other people. The spark just wasn’t there anymore.
« The reasons, you ask? There were many. Maybe the age difference, maybe the mounting work commitments. It just looks as if they both needed some space. And hey, maybe they both need to play the field a little more before settling down.
« They promise to remain close friends and lunch whenever they can. Good luck to all involved! »
