Little Scout released single "Go Quietly" in June 2012, co-written with Scott Bromiley (The John Steel Singers) and engineered by drummer Miro Mackie. The song was mixed by American producer Lars Stalfors (The Mars Volta) who contacted the band after hearing them on Triple J unearthed radio. Carter Maness of New York blog RCRD LBL wrote "Marching along with loose floor toms, swelling guitar and sweet female harmonies, Aussie rockers Little Scout really succeed at the oft-attempted 'bringing garage rock to the beach' concept. "Go Quietly" is pure summer fun – a bit dreamy, a bit whimsical, a bit soaked."
