Track listing
Reception
The single received positive coverage in the media, with Laura of Glasswerk magazine positively reviewing both singles and describing the tracks as "Jubilant and effervescent"[4]
James Canham, of ThisIsFakeDIY, mirrors this view, stating:
"Follow" is the stronger of the two tracks; it builds up slowly but steadily, keeping an exciting pace and loud, infectious chanting (though rhyming 'swallow' with 'way' by adding 'oh' is somewhat Stuart Murdochian) and into a high paced track that runs through loud choruses, acoustic guitar marrying with electronics (better than James Yuill, don't worry) and pulsing beats.
— James Canham [5]
And had this to say of "Swallow":
Opening with vocals before adding both nylon string finger picking and rave synths together could fall down so easily, but here it works beautifully and seamlessly, making an identifiable and brilliant sound. The chorus is again catchy and all breaks are done well, it’s just not quite as addictive as the other A-Side.
— James Canham[5]
