In April 2010, they cancelled their upcoming international tour dates and also began writing material for a follow-up to Artwork . Recording and officially releasing the new album was significantly delayed after leaving Reprise Records—their record label group of ten years. According to Howard, “We were kind of waiting to see if we were going to do this record on Warner or not. We kind of had to wait and see what happened about that before we started recording.” They founded their own record label in 2011 after parting ways with Reprise Records, a division of Warner. The label was dubbed “Dental Records”, and they planned to release their fifth studio album, Vulnerable , in February 2012 on it.
