Ikara Colt were an English four-piece indie rock band, formed by art students at London Guildhall University.
Modern Apprentice is the final album released by Ikara Colt before their eventual break-up in January 2005.
The album was recorded with Tracy Bellaries playing most of the bass parts, despite the fact she had not been in the band for most of the writing process but had only joined after the departure of Jon Ball.
As such, a number of tracks credit both members due to Ball having written (or played) the bass lines in full or part.
At the end of the extra song, the voice of the band's singer Paul Resende can be heard remarking that "It's a concept".
