Three singles were pulled from the album, "Gordie Can't Swim", "So the Feeling Looms"/"Out My Pocket" & "Callooh Callay!", which earned the band single of the week on BBC Radio 2.

In 2013 the band released an extended player The Juniper's Euphonious Trolley – EP 1 which they described as a "poppy side project". [1] This came out in November 2013, receiving a top review in Shindig! magazine.[ citation needed ]
