In this era of online streaming and music downloads, a full-length physical album is gradually becoming a thing of the past

A few days ago, we had previewed an Indian Ocean concert in these pages. In the conversation we had consequently had with Amit Kilam, the band's drummer, he had revealed a crucial plan they have. "We are going to release several singles over the next year, because we are questioning the relevance and importance of cutting an album all at one time. Even though you put a lot of effort into a full-length record, no one's really buying anything and people anyway end up listening to just one or two of the tracks. So, we want to lay more emphasis on every song as it goes by. And in today's day and age, it's easier to release more material over a longer time span than putting everything into one album," he had reasoned.
