wow… EMI stories only get worse…
EMI just released Art Brut’s new single!…. without letting Art Brut OR they’re adoring fans know…

STORY ON THE DAILY SWARM

FROM ART BRUT’S WEBSITE:

Attention, the Internet!! 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? Why was it not available in my local record shack, thrust pride of place along side the latest View recording? 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 wide scale promotion rather difficult. Adding to this curious new marketing stratagem of discouraging sales, EMI have chosen to make the song available via download only. So no luck in the record shacks either.

GET ‘PUMP UP THE VOLUME’ HERE!!! Mutebank.co.uk

However, there is a video! Again, curious, as it is accompanied by what could quite possibly be the opposite of marketing but nevertheless it is available for your viewing pleasure. Recorded live for Australian television, no less. Point internet sticks to your right!!

yours with love
