I Like Trains
Sea of Regrets s/r

Article written by Matt H - Oct 23, 2009

I Like Trains (the erratic capitalisation seemingly abandoned) are very much at the decent end of indie anthemics (on a scale that sees Elbow somewhere around the dodgy middle). Sea of Regrets is a downbeat tune that swells and builds gradually with strings, very much like British Sea Power (very much...) but with a more personal and mournful bent to the lyrics.

The Spark is a less expansive affair, a fine downbeat tune belonging more to the tradition of the bruised indie crooner (but again right in amongst the good stuff). On this evidence if they aren't exactly a "you must hear this" band, they are a very good one.
