Yes , you would say so ... On the other hand, there's so much going on nowadays for indie artists, that it's really hard to keep track of all latest developments and have game plans for everything. A release schedule is key, so you know where to focus on, warm up your (potential) fans, run ads (the proper way) etc. etc. You're also right about artists releasing stuff, just to release something. Especially now with COVID-19 I experienced a surge in submissions, many home recordings, promising to be the next big thing you MUST hear. Euh, no thank you. Cheers!
