The album's lead single "Aisle" was independently released in December 2010, and caught the attention of Victory Records, which signed the band shortly after. The album spawned a dual single in October 2011 featuring the tracks "Ocean Floor" and "C'est Pas Si Loin", both released with accompanying music videos. "Aisle" remains the band's most well-known song, as of December 2015, with over a million views on YouTube.
The tracks "Prelude to Pregnancy" and "Lust Touch Seed" were rerecorded from the band's 2010 debut album The Bunny The Bear.
