The album debuted at number six on the Australian Albums Chart.[7] The first official single, "Comeback", peaked at number 48 on the Australian Singles Chart.[8]

Six to Midnight was produced by Rick Will (Johnny Cash, No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails), with the band returning to their home town of Byron Bay to record the album. Will also mixed the album.[9]

The album has been the first Grinspoon release since 2002's New Detention to gain international release dates, starting off with Japan in early 2010 and the United Kingdom in February 2011.

The title of the album, according to guitarist Pat Davern, came after drummer, Kristian Hopes, saw a scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall where Russell Brand is singing, "Inside of You", and Jonah Hill sticks his hand down his pants, adjusts himself and says 'Dude, I just went from six to midnight.'[10]

gollark: But right now, at least, it isn't very capable of generally intelligent stuff, which is probably for the best.
gollark: I'm not sure I'd call that general intelligence.
gollark: AI can't really match humans at general intelligence tasks which we have to think hard about. It absolutely can do much of what we *intuitively* do - categorising cats and dogs, basic language processing, whatever - and nobody is flying planes by manually reasoning through the physics of their actions.
gollark: If they're inferring that from observations of some form, so can a computer system.
gollark: How is a human sensing that exactly?
