The band went through three line-up changes during the EP recording sessions:^[2] founding member and keyboardist Avik Chakravarty quit and was replaced by Ashwin Ethiraj, who quickly left too. The remaining members then decided to hire a second guitarist instead, Abhishek Prakash, who was also a very brief addition until he was replaced by Toshimoa Jamir.^[3] Also, they even ran out of money during the recording process.^[2]

Regarding the EP's music, drummer Praveen Kumar said the band "deliberately ventured on an experimental side", while vocalist Vats Iyengar saw some "subtle Indian elements".^[2] After the EP's release, they intended to tour in order to promote it and were also looking for a label via which they could release their debut full-length album.^[2]

Reception

The Hindu described the EP as "a brilliant blend of opposing Indo-progressive tonalities that throb together in eclectic energy, exuding the band's vibrant take on music that is rooted and yet atmospheric."^[2] Classic Rock ranked it as the 4th best progressive rock album of 2015.^{[4][non-primary source needed]}
