Singles edit

The first single of the album was Reptilectric, which had its own music video.

In February 2009, a poll was held in order to decide which song would be the album's second single. "Nada" turned out to be the winner, and was offered as a free download via iTunes, becoming the single of the week for the week of May 7, 2008. An accompanying music video was released in April 2009.

Similarly, a second poll was held in order to pick the album's third single, but before the winner had been announced, Larregui posted in the band's website some messages that suggested that the vídeo for the single had already been shot. On August 31, "Poli" was released by Zoé as the third single off the album, via Myspace.
