Music Corner Week 44: Track's
/Track’s is a three-member rock band formed in in 2014 from Fukuoka. While not rewriting the book, so to speak, on what it means to be an alternative band in the dime a dozen Japanese market, they take a page from similar alternative bands from the West. They prioritize synergy with everything above all else, which helps them to stand above and sometimes beyond their peers. Vocalist-guitarist Yonosuke Ikuta’s higher vocal range is the peanut butter to the high energy composition’s jelly, making them nothing to sneeze at. Their tracks “Daydream” and “17 years” are perfect examples of this and while listening to such songs might cause sensory overload for some, even these listeners cannot complain due to how well oiled a machine the band sounds as a whole.
Albeit having a slow start than most, Track’s has participated in several compilation albums in 2016, ‘17, and ‘19, with their first single “She is always late.” in 2017. They have also released two mini-albums, On my way home (2018) and Always with my dream (2019), along with their first album Inside Outside which set for release May 20.
