Prior to releasing this EP, the band has launched a single called “Sound of Silence”. Through the press release they explained that the single and album have correlation which lays on the darkness and depression. Both are process that have to gone through in life. “Whether it’s depression first, or darkness first, there is no particular order, depends on the human itself. There is no certainty which one comes first. Most certainly those two things will happen, even if it’s fake, but it can not be escaped,” said Nancy about the single and album.
For this album, SUPERFINE invited fellow musicians to collaborate and they are Arbi Wardani (drum), Tobieng Halim (bass), Resa Afriansyah (guitar), and Rizal Zachri (piano, synth).
