Pre-release teasers

[edit]

The first two minutes of the first track of the album were uploaded to YouTube on 8 February 2012.[18] The track "Nowhere Is Home" was played on the radio for the first time on Radcliffe and Maconie's 6music show on 9 March 2012, as well as being made available for free download via the band's SoundCloud page.[19][20] Speaking on the 6music show, Kevin Rowland explained the 27-year gap between albums "I wanted to have material that I felt confident enough about ... I’ve got high standards, and that’s a blessing and a curse. The perfectionism hasn’t gone, although these days I won’t storm out of a room swearing and shouting at people."[21]

Dexys' live shows surrounding the album's release consisted of the album in its entirety, followed by a selection of the band's older material.[22]

A single, "She Got a Wiggle", preceded the album, being released on 28 May 2012.[23]

On Dexys' official YouTube account, they have released 2 videos for "She Got a Wiggle" and "Incapable of Love".[24]
