2. I Am Murdered 6:07
Just think people, if you'd paid attention and stayed
focused during those history lessons at school this could
have been you. Instead, most of us decided that monologues
about nineteenth century prime ministers meant long
afternoons looking out the window daydreaming about mixed
games of rounders during PE.
Maybe they didn't play sports in Leeds, or if they did
this lot were excluded, because iLiKETRAiNS have honed
their craft to as near perfection as is possible for a
murder-fixated post-rock combo.
Such is their reputation; 'Spencer Perceval' is pretty
much everything and more that we've come to expect from
iLiKETRAiNS. A nine minute epic in total, it starts off
like the chimes of a funeral march before building amidst
a cascade of brooding intensity, Dave Martin's monotone "I
am murdered." refrain both haunting and mesmerising until
the song literally explodes into a musical fireworks
display in the final third.
Already cult heroes to an ever- increasing legion of
TRAiNspotters, whether this single will give them their
first real taste of commercial success remains to be seen,
but with recording well under way for their first proper
long player later this year, 'Spencer Perceval' is a
mighty starter that just raises anticipation levels for
the album that one notch higher.

we used ILiKETRAiNS in dirname because some
