"[7] In April 2014, it was announced that Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly would be working with No Devotion through his own label, Collect Records.

[8] Rickley regarded their new material as being influenced by Joy Division, New Order, and The Cure, although he did not discuss whether he was going to join the band.

[11] In early January 2015 it was announced that drummer Luke Johnson had left the band, feeling that he would be unable to fulfill commitments.

[12] Matt Tong of Bloc Party filled in on drums to help the band finish recording their debut album.

[25] "I Wanna Be Your God" was included on Alternative Press's list of "12 new songs you need to hear from September 2015".

[26] Rock Sound reviewer Rob Sayce noted the album's fusion of "shimmering electronic textures with elements of post-punk, psychedelic pop and a hefty dose of gloom.

"[3] Sayce wrote how Rickly managed to sow together the collection's "various threads with real passion and intensity.

[2] Jason Pettigrew of Alternative Press wrote that the album "exceed[ed] fans' and detractors' preconceived notions with equal measures of heart-hitting pop and urbane rock cool.
