The album has an Antipodean theme and features songs Palmer wrote about, or while in, Australia and New Zealand, throughout her early 2010 Australasian tour.

The first single "Map of Tasmania" featuring The Young Punx, was released on Palmer's Bandcamp music website.[2] The song's music video, directed by Michael Pope, premiered on Spin's website on January 13, 2011.[5] A remix of the song was also created, including an altered music video featuring a cameo from Canadian electronic musician Peaches.[6]

On January 30, 2011, the album debuted at No. 25 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart.[7]

The song "In My Mind" was featured in the soundtrack of the 2015 game Life Is Strange.
