Release: I Like Trains - Sea Of Regrets

Die Postrocker von I Like Trains (vormals Iliketrains) aus Leeds, veröffentlichen am 12. Oktober 2009 ihre neue Single Sea Of Regrets. Nachfolgend der original Pressetext:

I Like Trains are no longer in the mourning. Though they still remember the past, gone are the black hreads which adorned their funeral waltz along with songs of tragedy, despair, insanity and loss. Whilst the Leeds quartet made their name charting history's forgotten heroes and injustices, there is only so long you can look backwards before you have to start looking to the future.

"Some things are better left forgottem, or the weight of the world will crush your bones."

The limited edition self produced/released single Sea Of Regrets is a new beginning for I Like Trains. Whilst still informed by a bleak world view, musical rays of light are starting to puncture the gloom. Inspired by the writing of preeminent environmental scientists James Lovelock and George Monbiot; Sea Of Regrets raises the question of our importance in nature's great scheme. Guitars, vocals, violins and cellos combine for a soaring finale, an anthem to a hopeless future for humanity.

Sea Of Regrets is the lead single from I Like Trains' forthcoming album, their second full length following 2007's Elegies To Lessons Learnt. The new album is expected early next year, with the band previewing tracks on the following tour dates:

14. Oktober - Liverpool, Barfly

17. Oktober - Glasgow, King Tuts

Press Quotes:

This is not the hackneyed crwod-pleasing Coldplay moping of Editors and White Lies, is a true exploration of the British gothic. I Like Trains are surely one of the most cruelly underappreciated group. The Quietus 2009

iLIKETRAINS - a brilliand band, tragically under-exposed; a little bit British Sea Power, a little bit Mogwai. The Guardian 2009

Pop music is traditionally the sound of now. The genius of iLIKETRAINS, rests in the fact that they're more interested in being the sound of then. A band whose sound is akin to Interpol sound tracking a state funeral. The Guardian

Frankly, genius is an understatement. NME

Rock's unlikeliest cult group on the brink of chart success. The Times

Intelligent, very dark humorists. This is a grand and slightly unapproachable 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 Guardian

iLIKETRAINS are dour romantics compelled by a fading memory of Yorkshire's Industrial Sublime...the songs create a grandly sad, authenticaly odd world of their own. UNCUT

With gigantic waves of grey rock sound, as fashioned Americans Low with a Music Hall Goth feel, this Leeds outfit are a complete one-off. A striking debut. The Mirror

Bold and impressive. Mojo

Unique, deep, soothing, trustworthy. Plan B

Intelligent, witty songs are matched by hauntingly powerful riffs. These make you think of The Smiths and Interpol joining forces with Sigur Ros...This mini album boasts some remarkable tracks. The Sun

Their huge shimmering chords and front man David Martin's resonant vocals evoke Sigur Ros and Psychedelic Furs. Stars of tomorrow at a festival today. The Daily Mail

iLIKETRAINS stand firmly and gloriously out of place in a acountry full of haircuts. More heart, soul and dynamics than the whole of the indie top 40 put together. Drowned in Sound

The sound of Joy Division growing up and discovering hope. Special. The Fly

In terms of modern intellectual music making, it is an unequivocal masterpiece. RoomThirteen
