obviously they could do digital/CD first but a lot of bands shy away from that because if you don't have your record ready from the first week it tends not to sell so well. or so I've heard from a number of artists who pushed their release date for that reason. and yes they have gotten some stuff pressed in the meantime but maybe that was okay because they were small orders. all just speculation of course. the truth is they probably don't really think in terms of "albums" anymore and are just making tracks unencumbered by the thought. but I'm sure one will come eventually.
