Background

The album was the first to be released on Reuben's self-run label, Hideous Records. On 29 March 2007, the band revealed the first single from the album will be titled, " Blood, Bunny, Larkhall", due for release a week prior to the album. In an interview on rockmidgets.com, singer Jamie noted that fans can expect "Long songs. Nice artwork ndMore funny long titles". In comparing INWT to its predecessor '' Very Fast Very Dangerous'', the band expressed a clear preference for the new album, suggesting that it "feels more natural and raw sounding", with "more depth" compared to the "straightforward" sound of the 2005 album. More recently in Rock Sound Magazine Jamie admitted "we've had to let go and say 'Blatantly, it's our best one'."
