How did the song change during the process of writing, producing and recording?<\/strong>
\nWe started off with Troy\u2019s demos, just him singing with his guitars. It\u2019s always the first thing we would hear of any potential tracks before we develop it into a song. We would usually bring ourselves together into the jamming studio and build the rest of the arrangements into it. This is where we would begin dismantling and piecing shit together. However, this song took a different direction. There was no dismantling, it just came out right from the start. The foundation of Be Silent<\/em> remained the same since the inception by Troy, though much darker than the final recording. We experimented with different layers and sound from the instruments we had and it didn\u2019t take long to complete.<\/p>\n

Who collaborated in the process?<\/strong>
\nThe lyrics for Be Silent<\/em> was written by Troy with Selene, our bassist, who also sang on the song. Musically, it is always a collaborative effort from all of the members. We got Tim Kevin from Tempe River Studios to engineer and mix the track. He\u2019s one of the finest engineers around, easy to work with and receptive to our ideas. He brings so much energy and knowledge mixing the song and giving it a whole new life. Also, Gemma, from the band Goodnight Japan, gave us the coolest cover shot for the single. On the video, we collaborated with our friends and directors Dan Gaughan and Samuel Reis. The idea sparked in Dan\u2019s new home – we were more impressed by the new house than our brainstorming session [haha]!<\/p>\n
