Touring began in Europe from October to November, followed by North America in December to January 2011.[7]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine at AllMusic gave Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards three stars out of five, calling it "a mature work from one of the great rock guitarists" and "pure guitar prog, filled with compressed boogies, sci-fi synths, exotic flourishes, and all of Satch's phasers and flangers in full-tilt overdrive."[1]
The album reached No. 45 on the U.S. Billboard 200[8] and remained on that chart for two weeks,[9] as well as reaching the top 100 in ten other countries.[10]
