[edit] Radio singles

Before the Ep was released 'The Spaces Between' got plenty of airplay on Triple J. A few months afterwards 'Killer Kat' got commercial radio airplay. 'Killer Kat' was a more successful radio single than 'The Spaces Between', with it being free download of the week on the Australian iTunes store, and having a video made.

[edit] Video

A promotional video was made for the song 'Killer Kat' however no video was made for the radio single 'The Spaces Between'. The 'Killer Kat' video was a surreal yet silly piece starring lead singer Ben King running away from cardboard cat heads.

[edit] Artwork

The cover photo was taken by Matt O'Brien. The artwork is very closely modelled upon Rene Magritte's work "The Lovers". It is speculated that the EP's title is an inside joke relating to the artwork, possibly suggesting that the piece "The Lovers" is strange.
