Three singles would be released leading up to the album, "Silk Road", "Euro Dollar Yen", and "Irish Tears".
Following the albums release, Thaiboy Digital would go on a tour of North America and Europe in promotion of the record along with Whitearmor and Eurohead.
Reception Nathan Evans of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.5, they noted the albums heavy influence from 2010's EDM, describing Swedm®'s production as splitting the atom of EDM to "find Swedish EDM’s roots in Dutch trance and Eurodance." Further, while praising much of the production work, they still felt that some of the tracks overstayed their welcome and druged up "memories of EDM’s excess." Raphael Helfand of The Fader also noted a major tonal shift from Thaiboy Digital's moodier past works in favor of an EDM-style, describing the album as "36 minutes of blissful hedonism."
