Seems like the 'album' ... Cohesive albums are rare anymore. I guess the 50's & 60's were all about singles... Not until the 70's did bands try to put out collections of songs that told a larger tale, or fit together to paint a bigger image...
The technology we use to listen to our music may have as much to do with it as anything.
Now, we can legally purchase one song for $. 99 if we like it. Or we can use a service like Spotify to cherry pick tracks.
If I was a musician today, I think I might release my songs individually as they are born. Seems like you'd stay in the focus of the short attention span public much more easily
