K released "Trophy Girlfriend" on a split 7" single with two songs by Bis.[4] The single bore the overall title International Pop Underground Vol. 66.[5]

"Space Manatee" was also released as a single, backed by two exclusive B-sides: covers of "You Tore Me Down" (originally by The Flamin' Groovies) and "Art School" (by The Jam).[6] The two cover versions were included on a Japanese reissue of the album in 1998.[7]

Music videos were made for both singles.[8]

After Mathew Fletcher committed suicide in June 1996, the remaining members retired the name Heavenly. They later regrouped as Marine Research for one album in 1999.[9]
