The lyrics cover "tales of damned or murderous events", which is why I wanted to hear these chaps out in the first place. The sound suits the lyrics then - flailing guitars here and there, build-ups to dark guitary moments, Ian Curtis-style vocals.. Similarity with Joy Division goes beyond that, but there's also a post rock tension in the song mildly reminiscent of Sigur Ros. Only difference is Sigur Ros set you free, whereas iLiKETRAiNS make you a tad claustrophobic.!http://static.flickr.com/44/144761561_9485bc88a7.jpg?v=0!:http://www.flickr.com/photos/coastal/144761561/"A Rook House For Bobby mp3":http://nastypanda.com/wp-content/03-iliketrains--a_rook_house_for_bobby.mp3 "Terra Nova mp3":http://nastypanda.com/wp-content/01-iliketrains--terra_nova.mp3the mp3s via http://nastypanda.com/
