It was supported in Japan with the release of the country-exclusive 11:11 EP, which was released on 22 July 2015 and included four tracks, including the deluxe edition bonus track. Unlike the previous album Nature Nurture, there were no bonus tracks included on the Japanese album.

Critical reception

The album has received mostly moderate to favourable reviews. Rod Yates of Rolling Stone Australia stated "the likes of 'Friend Of Mine' and 'Willow Tree' are like sonic shots of adrenaline, 'Anxiety Trip' is as sludgy as molasses, while 'Crystalline' proves the trio know their way around a good chorus. Textured closer 'Cross My Heart' suggests the band are capable of broadening their sonic palette."[1]
