At the 2025 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Album of the Year, Best Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist, Best Dance/Electronic Release, Best Independent Release, Best Cover Art, Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release.[4]
The album won the 2025 Australian Music Prize.[5]
At the 2025 J Awards, the album won Album of the Year. The music video for "Fuck My Computer" won Music Video of the year.[6]
Release
[edit]Ninajirachi released her first single of 2025, "All I Am", on 25 February 2025.[7] On 14 May 2025, she released "Fuck My Computer".[8] Ninajirachi announced the album's release date alongside its third single, "iPod Touch", on 20 June 2025.[9] Upon announcement, Ninajirachi said "I've spent more time with my computer than any one person. It helped me discover who I am… All of my music is computer music—it's my instrument, and I don't know who I would be without it."[9] She released the album's fourth single, "Infohazard", on 17 July 2025.[10][11] On 7 August 2025, she released "It's You", the album's fifth single.[12]
Critical reception
[edit]Jared Richards of The Guardian described the album as "an immensely fun and inventive dance album that doubles as a surprisingly touching coming-of-age story."[1] Alessio Anesi of EDM said: "The stunning album effectively crystallises the Australian artist as one of today's brightest young stars in the electronic music scene." Anesi said "[the] production lands as among the most unique in the contemporary electronic music landscape. Although Ninajirachi draws from sounds that were trending when she just was a toddler—like electroclash, YK2 [sic] trance and the complextro of Wolfgang Gartner and Zedd—this record feels modern and completely her own."[13] Katie Bain of Billboard described the album as "smart, stylish and ebullient, with a bit of edge and a lot of observations on living and loving in our computer world", calling it "one of the year's best dance albums".[14]
