I Like Trains unveil new cut "Dig In"

Landing after last month's comeback single "The Truth", "Dig In" is, according to vocalist David Martin, a song "for those morally bankrupt schemers who have managed to leverage extraordinary power and wealth while never being on the ballot."

Martin adds, "For a job that would serve them best by working in the shadows, it’s incredible to see how their egos have landed them all in hot water. They can’t seem to help themselves, and yet somehow they manage to worm their way out of any real justice by calling in favours and laying low until it all blows over."

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."
