I Like Trains share melancholic new track "A Steady Hand"
I Like Trains are back with new track "A Steady Hand", the third taster of their first LP in eight years, KOMPROMAT.
"A Steady Hand" lands after earlier singles "Dig In" and "The Truth".
Lead singer David Martin says, "It seems there’s often a certain dark irony at play, with politicians wheeling out an anti-immigration stance which stands completely at odds with their own family history and circumstances. Is there a complete lack of self-awareness, or are they simply willing to sell-out their own partners, parents and grandparents for power and influence?"
KOMPROMAT will be I Like Trains' first studio album since 2012's The Shallows. Martin says of their album-making process, "An I Like Trains record doesn’t really start to take shape until there’s a theme. That point came following Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks in 2013."
He adds, "We didn’t set out to write a record about current affairs, but the path we set out on converged drastically with that daily discourse. The album inadvertently became about populist politics across the world. Brexit, Trump, Cambridge Analytica and covert Russian influence ended up at the centre of it all."
