The EP received positive reviews from NME, Drowned In Sound and the BBC. Told You Once was also listed as the 9th best track of 2011 by NME.
There is an official video for main track (but not single) "I Told You Once" up on YouTube (but not uploaded under Howler's official account) that shows lead singer Jordan Gatesmith singing into a microphone in a dance studio, backed by singing dancers in leotards. The scene then cuts to Jordan just singing with two female dancers. Then it shows Jordan and guitarist, Ian Nygaard playing with knives in one of the band member's bedroom. The scenes goes back to the dancers until 1:50 when the guitar solo comes in. At this point, it shows Ian Nygaard playing his guitar into what looks like a web-cam. It then shows him lying in bed, tuning his guitar. The scene goes to and from Ian and the dancers. Then the video shows Ian playing with knives in his fingers. The camera cuts back to Jordan singing and then fades out. It was directed by So-TM and clocks at 2:53.
Howler's debut LP 'America Give Up' contains three tracks that were re-recorded off 'This One's Different'. In an NME article about Howler's Minnesota Turf Club gig, it says: "It's rumoured Gatesmith considered leaving the song (I Told You Once) off their forthcoming LP, but on evidence of this grudging rendition, it sounds like he's decided to make "..Once" exhibit A for Howler's rapid evolution".
The Re-recorded Songs:
1. "This One's Different"
2. "You Like White Women, I Like Cigarettes" (Changed to "Wailing (Making Out)").
3. "I Told You Once" (Changed to "Told You Once")
The style of recording and production was noticeably "beefed up" (according to NME articles) for these re-recorded tracks.
The lyrics of the songs stayed the same when they were re-recorded for "America Give Up" apart from a line from "You Like White Women, I Like Cigarettes", (the lyrics were changed as well as the name) : "Now there’s one thing that is true, you’re a bitch and I hate you" was changed to "Now there's one thing that is true, I need someone to play but I don't know who".

Wonderland is the seventh album by British rock band the Charlatans, released on 10 September 2001 through Universal. Following promotional efforts for their sixth studio album Us and Us Only, vocalist Tim Burgess and guitarist Mark Collins wrote new material at the former's house in Los Angeles, California. Cocaine would be an impact on the writing, and later on recording; sessions were held at producer Danny Saber's house studio, Krevorkian's Lab, also in Los Angeles. The band worked with him for seven weeks from October 2000, only completing five tracks, and later went to their own studio, Big Mushroom in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, in early 2001. Wonderland is a funk-soul and electronica record, evoking the work John Mellencamp, Oasis and Primal Scream. Burgess remarked that Los Angeles itself became a member of the band; critics referred to it as a drug-enhanced party album. He employed a falsetto in the vein of Curtis Mayfield and Kurt Wagner.

This inspired the two to start a project that made noise music, but instead of guitars, they would use electronic sounds made with a circuit-bent Atari 5200–which effectively led to the media pigeonholing the act as chiptune, despite the fact that the members themselves didn't deliberately intend this.
