When I found out way back in November that Geographer was coming back to the city, I was over the moon. I had the pleasure of seeing them last March while they were opening for Miniature Tigers and knew firsthand how great they were in concert. So, when I got to Schubas , it felt a bit like coming home. The first band that came on was The Hudson Branch , which I found unimpressive. They were a four-man group who were trying too hard and not hard enough at the same [...]
No, Chicago music festivals don't cease when winter arrives.

The Hudson Branch needed to blow off some steam having spent the past year writing, recording, and promoting their latest album World Kid . So they did what bands do - started nerding out to their record collections (which include everything from Motown to soul to indie rock to electronica) and started messing around in the studio. The result is a just-for-fun soul version of Wilco's Sky Blue Sky , that's like nothing the band has done before. Download The Hudson Branch - Sky Blue Sky mp3 (Wilco cover) [...]
The Hudson Branch has released a cover of Wilco's famous track "Sky Blue Sky". The cover is a fresh take of the track adding in elements of soul to the lazy summer track. The Hudson Branch released their sophomore album, World Kid , this past March.
When former Loud Loop Press contributor reviewed The Hudson Branch's 2009 release, Tightrope Walker , he couldn't get over how well the band knew their way around open-ended and spacious melodies. With their latest release, World Kid , the Chicago indie rock outfit once again offer up a warm and often comforting melodic that's even more tight and focused. World Kid opener "What Did I Eat" is carried along melancholy piano work that seemingly draws inspiration from the slow, meditative work of Sigur Ros, while the [...]
