In an interview, band member Ben told Stoney Roads "We started writing this record almost immediately after the release of our first album. Over the course of two and a half year's we experimented, tinkered and wrote countless songs. As time went on everything began to take shape but even then, we continued to work on the songs right up until the very last deadline. I think we did over 10 masters of certain tracks to make sure they were just right." adding "This record is built around journey, growth and understanding. We wanted there to be a human story at its core whilst still having expansive ideas surrounding it."[7]
The album was supported with a 9-day Australian national tour, commencing in Canberra on 24 August and concluding in Brisbane on 21 September.[5][8][9]
Tammy Walters from Forte Magazine gave the album 4.5 out of 5 saying; "Safia uses their second album to distinguish their sound and showcase their maturing song writing, embracing simplicity and blending textures that will translate incredibly in their live shows."[10]
Ryan Middleton from Magnetic Mag said "The new album builds on what they created in 2016, keeping some of that summery Australian electronic sound that has permeated world music" adding "[the album] never loses the synth-heavy electronic sound they have become known for."[11]
