I LIKE TRAINS – When We Were Kings

Biography
Leeds, United Kingdom (2004 – present)
I LIKE TRAINS have flourished within Leeds’ fertile music scene since their inception in 2004 and have seen their intelligent, thought-provoking and quintessentially British world embraced by a growing following the world over. The NME descried them as ‘brilliant, unique, wry… at odds with pop’s present trends. ’ Uncut Magazine referred to them as ‘Bold and Impressive’, and the Guardian cast them as ‘Intelligent, very dark humorists… grand civic music, less to be listened to and more to be visited like a museum or war memorial, and all the more interesting because of it.’ The widescreen nature of their music has found them in demand for film and television soundtracks, their recent syncs include the ever popular CSi: Miami and trailers for Hollywood films The Wrestler, Amelia and Beautiful Boy.
Due for release on May 7th 2012, The Shallows explores our relationships with technology. Set to a dark motorik pulse and haunted by machines, production duties were handed to Richard Formby, celebrated for his work on the Mercury nominated ‘Two Dancers’ by Wild Beasts. ‘The Shallows’ deals with themes of information overload, charts a history of how our tools have shaped us, and asks how our recent reliance on digital technology to obtain information has changed the way we think and retain knowledge.

i feel like their old material was trying too hard to be epic post-rock/post-punk/whatever. SWANS they are not. however, the new stuff seems more 'effortless' and sounds better as a result - better suited to their inclinations, at least.

They were so special before Ashley left the band. [2] True that, but until The Christmas Tree Ship they were awesome. Now they play only some generic indie rock bullshit only dumb people care about. Even their name sounds fucking dumb now.

anyone noticed how their latest tracks sound similar to Faunts? I'm going to miss the noisy guitars and epic build-ups, but this new direction might not be so bad after all..

I don't suppose there's any point me moaning that I want to hear the Crystal Ship part 2 next.
