Welcome to my music reviewing blog, Track-By-Track. I was tempted to call this blog “On a Friday”, after Radiohead’s original name, because they’re one of my top-5 favourite bands, and I’ll be reviewing music every Friday. But after realizing that I have a tendency to talk about every track on the albums I review, I came up with Track-By-Track, which is also a catchier and more self-promoting name.
The goal of this blog is to raise attention to great music, especially -- but not solely -- that of independent and largely-unknown shoegaze and alternative-rock artists. I myself am currently recording an album, and will probably see and mention its completion before the end of the year. That being said, this is about you, the listener, finding great music. So every Friday, I’ll be posting a review of some great album or EP I’ve found.
Music transcends boundaries, and towards that purpose, I’ll try to keep any views not pertaining to music-appreciation to myself. This could prove interesting, and likewise, it could also prove bland, so the praise and criticisms I do give will be as well-written and attentive to detail as I can manage.
I’m not a fan of most modern pop music, mainly because I think it’s not been about the music for some time. But that shouldn’t stop you poppers from enjoying this site as well. Just bear with me every once in a while, when I call most modern pop a “wasteland” or “Hell”. I’m also not against it all: I sometimes distinguish between “pop” and “good-pop”, and when songs like “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Midnight City” come on the ol’ playlist, I’m dancing along too.
So sit back, relax, and get ready to have a sonic wave take you on a journey I’ll guide you through, for at least the duration of the Summer.
Enjoy,
-Daniel Trainor-Mckinnon, Track-By-Track
