Background
The first single from the album, "Electric Eye", was released for digital download on 30 November 2009. The song was released again as a double-A-side single with "Antlers" for 7 inch vinyl on 8 February 2010. Apparatjik's first song to be played on BBC Radio 1 was a radio edit of "Datascroller", which aired on 14 June 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.apparatchick.com/1/post/2010/06/zane-lowe-plays-datascroller-on-radio-1.html|title= Zane Lowe plays Datascroller on Radio 1 |website=Apparatchick |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707152519/http://www.apparatchick.com/1/post/2010/06/zane-lowe-plays-datascroller-on-radio-1.html |archive-date=7 July 2011}} This was released as the third single on 19 July 2010 as a download only.
The album cover artwork is derived from a diagram related to spacetime theories in the field of special relativity within physics, and follows with the band's overall image as being a "species of their own from another planet".
