Forty Nine Hudson
For Weeks At A Time CD [MF1]

I was 3/4 of the way down the road when I finally got sick of these losers whose inability to create any true meaning for their lives kept getting hidden under a romantic haze of just living free, going wherever your passions lead, and thumbing your nose at everything. I wanted to scream "Grab a life, any life, that has anything or anyone beyond your spoiled rotten little selves at the middle of it!" - an anonymous online review of Jack Kerouac's On the Road
Forty nine hudson basks in this "romantic haze." Taking their name from one of the cars used in On the Road, the band creates very soothing and addictive music based largely on repetitive grooves that pull in the listener. Once pulled in, the listener becomes immersed in a sea of melodies where emotions build and tensions mount. The music progresses and finds a place deep inside the psyche where it can mend broken wills and fuel the id.
The music on forty nine hudson's debut album For weeks at a time breaks no new boundaries. Instead, the band concentrates on blending and merging predominant styles and genres to create a unique sound and vision. From song to song and stanza to stanza, the band takes cues from multiple influences instead of just focusing on one agenda, whether seamlessly moving from layered, complex acoustic guitar strum arrangements to full, dynamic rock bombast or blending slow, mellow pop with pure post rock rhythms and sounds.
For weeks at a time was recorded in September 1997 at Big Pig Productions by David Park. It was Mixed by John Burdick except track 1 by David Park, and track 5 by Chris Purdie. Mastered at Sound Concepts by Wade Chamberlain.
