FOR THE RECORD at DOWN THE TUBES

John Freeman has reviewed For the Record over at Down the Tubes.

"While clearly an intensely personal project – musical tastes very much unique to everyone – it’s a project that works well on different levels. Firstly, as a history of musical discovery, and a guide to how the music industry has changed; secondly, it gets you thinking just what your favourite music is, too, David’s choices occasionally resonating, many not – also offering the opportunity to discover sounds you may be unfamiliar with, but his enthusiasm for them might just send you exploring."

FOR THE RECORD at BROKEN FRONTIER

Andy Oliver has reviewed For the Record over at Broken Frontier.

"It’s Robertson doing what he does best. As I’ve said before, finding something meaningful and universal in life’s smaller moments. For the Record feels like a throwback to old school DIY culture too which could not be more appropriate for this rather sweet collection of wistfully nostalgic memories."

FOR THE RECORD at ALMOST NORMAL COMICS

Warren "Wee" Elliott has reviewed For the Record over at Almost Normal Comics.

"Whether he is debating the best song of all time, analyzing compilation strategies, or sorting through a life’s worth of concert tickets, David’s art captures the invisible magic of sound. It is a story for anyone who has ever spent too long in a record store or felt their heart skip when the needle finally hits the wax."
