"The Hudson Branch is a polished quintet"

The Story

At the beginning of 2013 The Hudson Branch started laying down music for the next EP in a series we called "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow". The goal with the new material was to push our musical limitations. After experimenting with soul, R&B, electronic, and pop music and writing 23 songs, we realized we had something exciting on our hands. Out of this experience has come some of the most honest and compelling music we have made.

Now for our second Kickstarter funded album, our goal is to head back to one of Chicago's top recording studios, the Chicago Recording Company, to finish the album. In June we spent time at CRC recording the new singles "You Don't Know Me" and "Do You Want To (Dance)". Our experience in a large studio environment led to us doing some of our best work yet.

You Don't Know Me

Do You Want To (Dance)

The Goal

We want to finish the rest of the new record at CRC this fall. From the 23 songs we originally wrote we have chosen 8 to 10 songs that will be recorded there. After that they will be mixed by Neil Strauch (Iron and Wine, Andrew Bird). Your participation in this pre-order will help make that happen.

The money raised through this project will be used to pay for the

remaining time in the studio, the finishing mixing and mastering touches

and the pressing of CD and Vinyl copies of the album. Every amount helps support independent musicians make great music.
