I Like Trains - Beacons

Review by TIAGO CANAVARROS

Beacons, the third album by British band I Like Trains, is a haunting and atmospheric masterpiece. The album takes the listener on a journey through historical events, from the sinking of the Titanic to the Challenger disaster. The band's signature post-rock sound is at its best on this album, with layers of intricate guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and evocative lyrics. The album's opening track, "Beacons," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its soaring melodies and haunting vocals. Other standout tracks include "Mnemosyne," which features a mesmerizing guitar solo, and "The Turning of the Bones," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a powerful emotional connection with their listeners. Beacons is a must-listen for fans of post-rock and anyone who appreciates music that tells a story.
