Preceded by five singles including "Bootleg Firecracker", "Highlands" and "Dramamine", the band will embark on tour of Australia and the United States in May 2024 to promote the album.

[3] Faith Crisis Pt 1 was recorded in five weeks from June 2022 in Eastbourne, United Kingdom, alongside producer Jonathan Gilmore.

[4] Frontwoman Hannah Joy said that – unlike their previous albums, which were very intertwined with their daily lives, with "snippets written in sound checks, visiting a studio whilst on the road [and] recording vocals after doing the dishes at home" – in making Faith Crisis Pt 1, they sought separation from daily life and the going-ons of society by "carv[ing] out the space and world for making this record, which, yeah, was awesome – but absolutely fried the mainframes".

[12] Writing for The AU Review, Dylan Marshall said Faith Crisis Pt 1 is relatable, reliable and "filled with hits and choruses that will be stuck in your head for days on end," predicting it will appear on several year-end lists.

Matt Young of The Line of Best Fit praised the album's themes, and wrote that "[d]espite the existential territory that informs the lyrical and musical direction the trio do manage to wring many buoyant melodies and arrangements from the pain."
