Loma Prieta promoted Self Portrait with a 7" single for the opening track "Love" backed with the exclusive B-side "Trilogy 0 (Debris)" released on July 24, 2015 through Deathwish. The band released a music video for "Love" on September 9, 2015 directed by Kyle Camarillo. Writing for Vice magazine's music blog Noisey, John Hill said the video as perfectly represented the song's build up, and that, "the visual starts with the band in a black and white space devoid of anything but the band playing. As the song progresses, the vision of what they're doing intensifies and distorts itself to the point where you can't really understand what's going on. It's here where the song and its strength hits its total power, visually and sonically." Loma Prieta also helped promote Self Portrait with an online stream of the song "Never Remember".
