Hello, Firstly i wasn't going to comment on the situation and bring it into the public domain but i feel as though i should say something as it has gone way past what we are comfortable with. Some of you might be wondering why the latest Author album has fallen quite thin on the ground in terms of promotion/manufacturing and general awareness...this is because in short the label made an absolute mess of everything and to the point where me and Dom have little or no prospects for the future of the album. We did work very hard to come with another album and at the time we were negotiating contracts everything was legit and we were happy, over the following months the project ran away from the label for whatever reason. The promotions company/us have been left stranded with nothing to go on. Financially/Mentally this is a massive turning point for me personally and i don't think i can continue within music for much longer due to the circumstances of this release. I wouldn't say Author is ruined but i think this is the point where we say enough is enough and cut our losses for the project and move on. We still have no word from the label and no info on manufacturing and i have physical copies myself to listen/look at. Devastated to say the least

I'm guessing the second album wasn't on tectonic then?

Doesn't Thinking run Black Box?
Still Gutted Circadian didn't get pressed

sounds very unlike Thinking and the Black Box crew. I want more details before passing judgement either way.

if the label broke the contract they could throw their songs up on bandcamp for a few dollars... all of the publicity from the fiasco might push it around the interwebs enough to get a decent return

I doubt Black Box are heavily cashed up at the best of times, perhaps a case of financially being unable to live up to the expectations of the artist?
