Out today! Freshly chilled dubstep vibes from iLikeTrans + 48k
New single ‘Sirens’ is one of the more direct moments on I LIKE TRAINS’ second full length record ‘He Who Saw the Deep’.
It takes the famous Greek myth of the Sirens calling sailors to shipwreck as a metaphor for how the human race is unable to resist the lure of progress despite our growing knowledge of the damage being done in its name. It doesn’t preach or judge, but simply accepts our fate and feelings of guilt as we appear powerless to affect change.
Sirens is released on 10″ Vinyl which includes the new song ‘Flood’ and the previously digital only release of ‘A Father’s Son’ and ‘A Kingdom You Deserve’.
The digital package includes two remixes of Sirens which offer an alternative slant on the original. An alternative dubstep version done by 48k and Dave De Rose (Producer and Roisin Murphy/Moloko collaborator) offers his own bass heavy take. All released on the band’s own label, ILR.
