[1] A number of guests appear on the album including Gerard Love and Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub, Ronald Lippok of To Rococo Rot and Saya & Takashi Ueno of Tenniscoats.

[2] "Night Time Made Us" dates back to at least 2008,[3] whilst versions of "Wrong Light" and "Slow Summits" (by then known as "Slowly Taking Place") were recorded for Marc Riley in March 2010 along with the as-yet unreleased track "The Ballad of Two Elms".

[6] The mix includes tracks by Movietone, Strawberry Switchblade, To Rococo Rot, Ela Orleans, Teenage Fanclub, International Airport, Faust and Television Personalities amongst others.

[7] Dom Gourlay from Drowned in Sound rated the album 8/10; "Slow Summits represents arguably their most lovelorn, and occasionally exploratory collection of songs to date.

While not brash or boisterous like debut long player Up For A Bit... and its predecessor Sittin' Pretty, Slow Summits is everything one would hope and expect to hear from a band cited as an influence by anyone and everyone from Kurt Cobain and Stuart Murdoch to Bobby Gillespie and Thurston Moore[8]".
