An Inbuilt Fault follows Westerman’s 2020 debut, Your Hero Is Not Dead, and features the 2022 single "Idol; Re-Run." Soon after releasing the new album Westerman will embark on his first North American tour in four years. The run of live shows begins on May 6 with stops including Seattle, Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, Austin, and Los Angeles.

In a statement, Westerman described “CSI: Petralona” as the “most autobiographical song on the record,” and explained that it was inspired by a trip to Greece as well as Tom Waits' belief that all musicians should have a "musical junk drawer" of unused ideas at their disposal.
