In addition, Self-Developing Country won the award for the Best Alt. Country Album of the Year for the Independent Music Awards in the US.

The band toured through Norway in 2014 and the single Take A Look at My Heart, Today was play listed on NRK Østfold and that song plus others were played on a number of stations throughout the country in addition to appearing live on local stations during the tour.

A couple of quotes from reviews for Self-Developing Country:
"With a voice that sometimes sounds like it's right before its owner goes over the edge, there is hint of madness in it, like a fire and brimstone preacher. On ten fantastic songs...American with dark undertones...a beautiful record that deserves all of the attention it is going to get."
Firdaposten 6/6

"Impressive, distinctive debut, Self-Developing Country is one of the more special albums you'll hear this year. It has character."
Dagbladet 5/6
