The album also received a nomination for Best Independent Album at the AIM Independent Music Awards. Also in 2019 while filming a video for a song from this album, the band issued a public warning due to the video including a dummy being thrown off a roof. In 2020, the band released an EP, Happy Days! accompanied by a single, Everything Will Be Fine. The EP went on to be shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year award.
