Motherjane toured nationally extensively during the period between the release of their first album and the release of their groundbreaking second album – Maktub. Released in 2008, Maktub marked a change in Motherjane’s musical style. Influence of Carnatic music was prominently seen in the lead guitar patterns, supported by vocals and percussions with the usage of native instruments like the chenda.
