iLiKETRAiNS are here to make you sad all over.

We Say...
If Control, Anton Corbijn’s masterful film about Ian Curtis and Joy Division, has whetted your appetite for gloomy monochromatic rock music made by northern Englishmen sporting big coats, iLiKETRAiNS are here to make you sad all over.
The five-piece from Leeds wear their erudition heavily: each song on this album is about an historical incident — the suicide of a mad yachtsman ("The Deception"), the flight of a bankrupt British MP ("Death of an Idealist?"), a medieval plague outbreak that decimated a village ("We All Fall Down"). iLiKETRAiNS render these tales of woe and despair with appropriate mournfulness, stentorian vocals layered like treacle over sludgy post-rock guitars and funeral-march drums 'n' brass.
All this doom and pretension can be as irritating as their “radical” approach to capital letters and the use thereof. And yet, if you immerse yourself in this defiantly contrary music, a melancholy beauty does, eventually, fitfully, peek through. It's a Sigur Rós for moody Goths and suicidal emo-kids everywhere.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
