Forty Nine Hudson

Forty Nine Hudson were a band from Utah, which is appropriate because their first and only LP, …For Weeks At a Time, sounds like driving through a wide open state feels. They play that kind of midwest emo that knocks right up against slowcore, though a lot of the songs have too much energy to be proper slowcore. Fans of Boys Life's Departures and Landfalls and early Karate will want to listen. Discogs lists this album as post-rock. Discogs (as is so often the case) is wrong. But the sheer sense of lonely space in the album makes it feel like a very sparse post-rock at times.

Aside from this LP, the band's discography is thin. There's a split cassette with Maya Shore (also on Music Fellowship) and a demo cassette that, as far as I can tell, has never seen the light of day. Other than that, there's a single unreleased song on Soundcloud.
