Background

[edit]

Maliq & D'Essentials collaborated with Indra Lesmana on two tracks for the album, namely "Ananda" and "Nirwana". "Ananda" was released as a single on April 15, 2014.[2] The band has decided to focus on mostly on digital releases. "We really want to focus on digital, because it looks like the CD era is coming to an end. We will treat CDs, cassettes, and vinyl as merchandise, while digital will be our main focus in the future. We will create a box set as well," said the vocalist, Angga Puradiredja.[3] The album has been available online since May 1, 2014.[4]
