Their album was heavily promoted on Adult Swim through a 60-second commercial spot, which is their music video for "Don't Tell Me What to Do". Directed by the film-making duo The Marshall Darlings,^[13] the promo is filmed on distorted black and white videotape and starts with a close up of lead singer Honor Titus, as he and his band mates walk outside a nightclub and on the streets yelling out the lyrics of the song shown on the bottom of the screen.^[14]

The artwork for the album was done by Raymond Pettibon,^[15] who has previously worked with bands such as Sonic Youth, Off!, Foo Fighters and Black Flag.
