Brand New Machine

The promotional single "Big Man" featuring Liam Bailey was released through online retailers on 16 October 2012, although a free download was offered through their official website. The song features as a bonus track on the American edition of the album. "Lost & Not Found", the lead single, was the first standard album track to be premiered almost a year after "Big Man". It was followed by "Count on Me", the album's second single. "Machine Gun" was uploaded to their SoundCloud and sent to radio stations in August 2013 as a precursor to the album. On 28 September, the duo appeared on MistaJam's BBC Radio 1Xtra show for a guest mix, in which they premiered several album tracks including "International" and "Gangsta Boogie".{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03bmd1n|title=BBC Radio 1Xtra – MistaJam, Chase and Status Guest Mix|publisher=BBC Radio 1Xtra|date=2013-09-28}} Will, better known as Status, appeared once again on MistaJam's show on 2 October 2013 to talk about the album track-by-track.

The duo created a Spotify playlist consisting of some songs that influenced the creation of the album. They cite Massive Attack, MJ Cole, Breach, Soul II Soul, Snap! and Nas among others as key influences for the album.{{cite web|url=https://play.spotify.com/user/chaseandstatusofficial/playlist/6Xd0YeIXhLzjPqlG8Wu8ct|title='Brand New Machine' Influences by ChaseAndStatusOfficial|publisher=Spotify|accessdate=2013-10-24}} You can hear the MJ Cole influence in "Blk & Blu", as well as the Nas influence in "Gangsta Boogie". Other tracks, such as "Breathing" and "Alive", are drum and bass songs, adopting their original style that helped the duo rise to fame. The duo were also influenced by Pusha T, who they managed to get to vocal their trap song "Machine Gun". The Major Lazer collaboration "Pressure" is a moombahton track, a genre that Diplo has brought to fame. The style is a new venture for Chase & Status.

"Lost & Not Found", featuring vocals from Brighton-based Louis M^ttrs, was released as the album's lead single on 24 June 2013. The track was initially released on Clubland 23 before its official single release, meaning the release date was brought forward by a week.https://www.facebook.com/chaseandstatus/posts/10151442349515974 {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}} A music video to accompany the release of "Lost & Not Found" was first released onto YouTube on 4 July 2013 at a total length of five minutes and eight seconds.
