"THE FACTORY EP Review..."
Peter J Brown aka toxic pete (www.toxicpete.co.uk)
Wirral based Hudson Fall's latest release is an extremely cute and beautifully put together little three track EP called 'The Factory'; British indie rock through and through 'The Factory' is a bright and impressive work that allows Hudson Fall to show their collective worth - and it sure does its job! This is a quality release and really deserves success!
Right from the start Hudson Fall show that they've got a big and pretty powerful sound that's bulked out by their brilliant use of keyboards to bolster their attack and add depth and dynamics. Generally, Hudson Fall have a sound that sits somewhere on the lighter side of the Oasis thing; again, the use of keys sets them apart from the aforementioned and allows Hudson Fall the chance to be individualistic and fresh sounding - not an Oasis copy but Hudson Fall in their own right. They inject emotion without over-doing things which makes 'The Factory' very believable and most impressive. Although they develop a very rich and full sound, Hudson Fall's attention to detail and focus on practicality means that their songs should be pretty much reproducible in the live scenario - great writing and thoughtful execution!
The three songs here, 'The Factory', 'Heaven' and 'Afraid Of The Dark' are extremely well written and beautifully crafted; Hudson Fall write with maturity and they show a great understanding of dynamics and audio separation - 'The Factory' is mixed and produced to be crisp, clear and pretty damn punchy. Hudson Fall sound like a really focussed and confident bunch; 'The Factory' is blessed with a high standard of 'finish' that suggests these guys are not only knowledgeable but practically minded - 'The Factory' is polished and very professional, everything is just so and they've refused to be drawn into over-production and/or over-indulgence. It really is well done!!
I very much like what I've heard of Hudson Fall through these three impressive and tantalising tracks; Hudson Fall sound and feel like a band that knows its strengths and uses those skills to bring out their best both individually and collectively. 'The Factory' by Hudson Fall is certainly up there with the big boys in every department - exposure and a bit of good luck could see Hudson Fall start to reap the rewards they so justly deserve. Great music from a really impressive band!! One to watch out for - without a doubt!
'THE MEETING' Reviews...
"Musician" Magazine Spring 2008 Album Review:
This Liverpudlian quintet possess a definite vision, as evinced by the 12 slices of contemplative, progressive indie rock featured here.
Intriguing, thoughtful and potent, the instant and atmospheric drive of the tremendous Come Alive points to a successful career for Hudson Fall, especially among fans of Snow Patrol and other reflectively-inclined combos
Sir Paul McCartney:
nice slide guitar
John Broadhurst at www.myspace.com/voicevisionvibesnwuk:
They are bliss to listen to. As stated by my friend and I will repeat, the guitar work is absolutely amazing and the ensemble alongside well it really is impressive shit hot stuff.
The clear vocals and pitch of this front man sets him apart from whats going on behind him, allowing the audience to distinguish clearly whats going on within the band.
This Band are simply together. The change in pace from one track to the next is a varied as any music can be, thus retaining the attention of the listener.
All in all I am truly impressed with this Band.
Thumbs up guys. Truly this is great work, varied, interesting and at times very powerful depending on the pace of the song. Would I buy? A Definite Yes. Great appeal to a wider audience, something for everyone. Great mix of songs. The Band have this album extremely well balanced.
Hudson Fall emerged and have been part of the continually creative Liverpool music scene since 2006. This four piece form a typical line up with untypical visions, drawing on a multitude of sounds and styles to form their own unique brand of music.
Debut album ‘The Meeting’ was released in February 2008 and represented a daring departure from most debut recordings from bands of this type, reflecting an unerring self belief and willingness to take risks.
Following on from 2009’s release ‘The Factory E.P’ which provided the band’s most instantaneously pleasing material to date, Hudson Fall embarked on their first U.K tour taking their growing sound the length and breadth of the country.
The band are currently back in the studio working on new material for the autumn tour and further recording sessions due in November 2009.
