Polar Lights, an indie rock band from Nagaland, released their debut album ‘To Feel Human’ on October 22.
The four-year-in-the-making album is now accessible on all streaming platforms.
The Nagaland-based alternative rock band also created a music video for the album single ‘Castles.’
The album, which was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Dimapur’s Jam Studio 11, has eight tracks. According to the band, the album is an attempt to create stories about “human emotion and life.
On the Fabled Talks Podcast, frontman Mar Jamir discussed the band’s journey, method, and inspiration for the new album.
“We made sure that we recorded everything live, and that the sounds in the album are not coming from a computer. We wanted the listeners to know that there was an actual person playing the instruments and singing,” Mar said.
“The album has actually taken me to some dark places and, at the same time, dragged me out of it. Having to live through all these moments, whether it’s good or bad, is what makes us humans,” Mar added.
The band’s debut EP, ‘Talking to the Trees,’ was published in 2016, followed by a pan-India tour
