iLiKETRAiNS welcome in 2007 with a spectacular nine and half minute release, reciting the story of the only successful assassination of a British Prime Minister, 'Spencer Perceval' in 1812. The song is written from murderer John Bellingham's perspective whilst its accompanying track, ‘I am Murdered’ is sung from the perspective of Spencer himself. Both tracks were produced by the band late 2006 in the first recording session for their forthcoming debut album. 'Spencer Perceval' is a colossal and beautiful piece of music which sets out the stall for this strangely unique band for the year to come.The Leeds five piece arrived in 2006 with their powerful tales of morose events from bygone days, murder and misfortune, described by The Times as "Library Rock" and explained by The Guardian as something "to be visited like a museum or war memorial and all the more interesting because of it." The NME suggested that "frankly genius is an understatement."
