Following the album’s release, Harding scored her first-ever New Zealand #1 on the Album Chart, with two of the songs hitting the Singles Chart: Tick Tock peaked at #31, and Ennui landed at #40.

Aldous Harding last toured Australia in October 2022; in May 2024, she was locked in for two exclusive performances as part of Vivid LIVE. This time around, punters will get to witness her shows in Australia and New Zealand, followed by massive sets by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds promoting their latest album, Wild God.
