The EP contained their biggest hit, a cover of the Strangeloves' "I Want Candy". The Last of the Mohicans peaked at No. 67 on the Billboard 200, their highest entry on the chart.[4]

The cover photograph, taken by Andy Earl, was Bow Wow Wow's recreation of Le déjeuner sur l'herbe by Édouard Manet, which caused outrage when it first appeared as the cover of See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang Yeah, City All Over! Go Ape Crazy!.[5]

gollark: That would never happen...
gollark: PostmarketOS is apparently slowly improving, but it doesn't really seem quite ready for use on most phones yet, what with no data/calls on most stuff.
gollark: And the system image is read-only and monolithic. So stupid.
gollark: Plus each device needs its own special weird custom build, and you need something like 40GB of files and an insane build process to make system images.
gollark: Well, I sort of can, using some iptables hackery, but that seems fragile and prone to breaking.
