Fake Train is the second recorded studio album by the American post-hardcore band Unwound, (the first released, as the self-titled album, Unwound, was recorded first). The album was released on July 7, 1993 by Kill Rock Stars. The album marks the debut of Sara Lund, who became the band’s longest serving and last drummer. While being the first studio album in the band's catalog to be released, and the first LP on Kill Rock Stars, it is actually the second album by the group to be recorded. Their first full-length was recorded in 1992 with drummer Brandt Sandeno, who left the group shortly after recording to do other things (vague). That album was shelved and was not released until 1995, after the group already released 3 full-lengths via Kill Rock Stars. As suggested by Sandeno, Sara Lund was chosen as his replacement. Her drumming style would shape the band from their initial rugged hardcore punk sound to the more post-hardcore style that is presented on this album. The album was under the working title of "Rat Conspiracy," which would go on to become the name of the box-set that Fake Train would appear on in 2014. Fake Train was recorded and mixed during 2 weekends. In retrospect, Sara Lund expressed her distaste for her performance on the album, for she believed she performed very poorly on it. The entire first side of the record was overdubbed with amplifier feedback. The album was released as the band's full-length debut on Kill Rock Stars on CD, LP, and cassette format
