I Like Trains – ‘The Shallows’. Rebecca Schiller May 8, 2012 12:06 pm BST. I Like Trains - 'The Shallows'. A hefty whomp of steely-eyed beauty. Digesting a sodding treatise on today’s technology-crazed world sounds as exciting as memorising your MacBook Pro instruction booklet, but I Like Trains have long had the knack for breathing the kiss of life into the bleakest of conceits. And so it is with ‘The Shallows’, which, for all its lofty attempts at deconstructing the digital age, spurns beard-stroking for a hefty whomp of steely-eyed beauty
I Like Trains (previously styled as iLiKETRAiNS) is an English k band, formed in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. The group play brooding songs featuring sparse piano and guitar, baritone vocals, uplifting choral passages and reverberant orchestral crescendos. They draw their inspiration from historical failings and a pessimistic world view.
The Shallows is no different; at nine tracks it's their shortest LP, and yet it feels like their most perfectly realised attempt at concept yet. In his book, Carr fears that our increased connectivity has obliterated our capacity to maintain attention. With this latest album, though, I Like Trains dare you to do anything but stay rapt.
