After the release of the album, in February 2011, a video for "Rosary", directed and produced by Dominic William Stoate, Kelly Marriot and Tom Marcham, was published to the official Birdeatsbaby Youtube channel. [4]

Reception

The EP received positive reviews. Owain Paciuszko of God Is in the TV gave the EP 4/5, saying, "this Brighton quartet keep their tunes consistently inventive, their compositions punctuated with a certain arch theatricality that's perfectly befitting their kind of anti-folk, classical-punk vibe". [5] [6] Sarah Elliott of Pop Culture Monster called it "vengeful, hyperactive, haunting, joyous, and soulful" and that it "has just the right amount of humour", also saying "this bite size offering will both satiate and leave you hungry for more". [7] A review from Brighton Source praised the production style, calling it "eerily effective as it deliciously taints the initially apparent sweetness of the songs." [8]
