It is with great excitement and anticipation that we can reveal to you details of the release of our second album.  Way back in December we reported back on a successful recording session and since then we have put the finishing touches to an album we are proud to let out into the big wide world.  We didn’t anticipate for it to take such a long time, and we fully appreciate your patience! 

The record is called ‘He Who Saw the Deep’.

Now this is the important part.  We can’t do this without you. 

With the new album comes a new approach to releasing it.  The record will be released on our own record label called ILR.  In order to make this a reality we have set up a project on a website called Pledge.  This is an exclusive opportunity not only to get your hands on our album before it hits the shops, but also a plethora of other iLT goodies.  These range from album artwork posters, lyric books, guitar lessons and vinyl only box sets.  For a complete list of what we’re offering you, take a look around our Pledge page.

We have set a target for the money we require to set up the label, master, manufacture and market the record.  No money exchanges hands until the target is met.  Simple.

In other less exciting news, Simon has broken his leg.  We will be drafting in a  last minute replacement drummer for our Rock Herk festival show on the 17th of July.  Details here www.rockherk.be.

Get well soon Mr Fogal.

You can pledge support here, if you are so inclined (some interesting things on offer for various pledge amounts): http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/iliketrains

I'm likely to go for the album. I've heard one track (When We Were Kings), not quite as engaging as some of their earlier work, obviously can't judge the whole album based on that, but I'd still pay to help get the album up and running.
