When Chai Met Toast have done a brave thing with their new EP, Believe. The Kerala-based band have dug deep into their pool of emotions and fished out experiences that have shaped them as human beings. But even if it's been a negative one — like depression — they have used the canvas of music to paint it in a positive light. And in the process, they have created a four-song concept album that tells the journey of a character who, after being down and out, learns to pick up the pieces and carry on.

"This person undergoes a process of self-discovery, which begins with Khoj, the first track. And then the second song, Who are you, is about how he finds who he is, which leads him to believe in the light at the end of the tunnel, as reflected by the title track. And then the last song, Forever, celebrates the feeling of the person being comfortable in his own skin at last," says vocalist Ashwin Gopakumar, ahead of a launch gig the band will play in Mumbai.
