However, on 2 April 2012 the band announced that they had decided to leave Mercury Records, with a statement made by lead singer, Ant West; "We have been restricted over the past two years as to how much music we have been able to share with you.

On 8 April Futures announced the launch of their independent self-owned label, Indigo, through whom they released their new album in June 2012.
