Singer-songwriter Alex Calder, who records under his own name and formerly played in Mac DeMarco’s old band Makeout Videotape, has been dropped from his record label following a sexual assault allegation. Captured Tracks posted the following statement to its Facebook page:

Recently, an allegation of sexual assault against Alex Calder has come to our attention. We have been working tirelessly to speak with all parties involved and are no longer working with Alex moving forward. We feel it is important to preserve the privacy of the third party involved, and therefore we do not feel it is our place as company to share any further details. We will not be proceeding with the release of his album, previously set to come out October 20th.

Calder’s 2013 Time EP has been removed from Captured Track’s SoundCloud. As of publishing, the EP (and other releases like 2016’s Bend) are on Apple Music and Spotify. According to a representative from Captured Tracks, they will be removed from those streaming services as well. Read their statement below:

These things occurred in the order they did out of respect for the third party to make sure things moved forward at a rate they were comfortable with. If we'd removed his catalog on any given date, it'd lead to the inevitable questions, which we are OK dealing with, but our first thought was to the third party and their comfort level. Unfortunately, you can't just hit a button on a Friday afternoon and remove catalog from streaming sites outside Soundcloud and Bandcamp. We've been doing our best due-diligence in finding the truth of the allegations and respecting the third party as much as possible, none of these decisions were made hastily as this is obviously a serious matter that goes beyond the normal remit of being a record label.
