A collector's edition of the album featuring vinyl and CD copies of the album as well as a lyric booklet, artwork print and "one-of-a-kind Polaroid photo of the band" was also released alongside the standard edition.[3]
Within weeks of finishing work on their debut, the band was bitten by a fresh creative bug. Recording in their home town of Sydney rather than abroad, keeping things local allowed the band to be close to friends and family. As a result, the album reflects the personalities and experiences of the band.
The band embarked on the 16 Days Under a Southern Sun tour in October and November 2013.[5]
At the J Awards of 2013, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[6]
