HUDSON BELL
"It’s just one hook lined pop song after another. It’s one huge, soaring chorus after the next. It’s genuinely emotional guitar solos place right smack dab where they are supposed to be. It’s heartfelt crescendos (as in the epic conclusion to “The Midnight Year”) that will pull your heart out through your chest while you let the waves of rock wash your ears clean of all the crappy music you have become accustomed to. It’s the epitome of what a feel good rock record for the 2000’s should sound like, and I can’t stress to you how good it feels to just sit back and crank this one up." - Indie Work Shop Hit that fuzzzz pedal... Baton Rouge born and raised in the South, it was at the early age of thirteen that Hudson Bell began tinkering with the guitar. His lessons ended abruptly when his guitar teacher committed suicide, forcing Hudson to teach himself how to play and write. After years of skipping through various cities (Oxford, Little Rock, Lexington) and stacks of novels later, Hudson left the South for the West Coast. It was in San Francisco that Hudson Bell created the band Hudson Bell with his friends John Slater (bass, piano/organ) and Brian Fraser (drums) and recorded When the Sun is the Moon. Pop at heart, When the Sun is the Moon gets swsllowed in swirls of distortion and dense guitar solos and binges. On par with guitar benders Neil Young and Doug Martsch, Hudson Bell s guitars change densities, get lost, spiral, then return. Yet, even under the eruptions of fuzz and mounds of pedal tapping, there are epic pop songs. Tracks filled with sincere lyricism and unavoidable melodies. When the Sun is the Moon is grand on all measures, filled with contagious jams and monstrous guitar hooks that will get you cranking your speakers to hear every crackle and buzz.
"The fuzzy, uncool lovechild of Neil Young and Stephen Malkmus proves his brilliance..." - Stylus Magazine
