Critical acclaim for the early singles led to major-label interest and they were signed to EMI label Food Records in 1993. Strangelove released their first album, "Time for the Rest of Your Life" on 1 August 1994, produced by Paul Corkett, who would go on to work on Strangelove's later albums. "Time for the Rest of Your Life" made numerous top album polls for 1994, and brought them to the attention of Suede who invited them to support on their "Dog Man Star" European tour in 1995. Manic Street Preachers' Richey Edwards was also a fan, inviting them to support at the London Astoria on the penultimate gig before his disappearance in 1995. Edwards' bandmate Nicky Wire commented that "Time for the Rest of Your Life" "fits staring out of the window and watching the rain in a small valley town". Suede and Strangelove bonded, and covered each other's songs at Sala Multiusos Zaragoza on 16 May 1995. Strangelove played Suede's "Killing of a Flashboy", while Suede played "She's Everywhere" (then under the working title "Spacey Vibe Thing"). Brett Anderson and Richard Oakes would later guest on this song in the studio as well as "Living With The Human Machines", providing backing vocals. "Love and Other Demons" was released on 17 June 1996. The second single from the album, "Beautiful Alone", went to number 35 in the UK Singles Chart.
