"Silver" is the title track of Moist's debut, and one of the 3 singles pulled from it along with "Push" and "Believe Me". The album was a do-it-yourself job: the Canadian band cut it between December 26, 1993, and January 1, 1994, for roughly $4,000 Canadian, trying to land a record deal, and put it out themselves that February before EMI Music Canada signed them and relaunched it in April.
Mark Makoway plays guitar, Paul Wilcox plays drums and Kevin Young plays keyboards. AllMusic's James Chrispell heard the dark, angry pull of Seattle in the record but insisted it copied nobody, and he compared its sound to the rain forests of British Columbia. Silver went on to be the band's biggest seller.
