“Written between our homes in Glasgow and Shetland during 2020/21, Outliers came to signify a creative outlet which we would never have had the chance to explore otherwise. Meeting up online for an hour or so every few weeks gave us an opportunity to write songs in a way we’d not done before. Recording at home and pinging melodies, sounds, ideas to each other via email gave us the space and time to experiment without a usual studio setting. The evolution and method of creating this music led us to settle on the name Outliers.”Jenny & Boo

The new digital EP from Liz Hanks - Land Remixed is OUT NOW! Featuring remixes of tracks from Liz’s highly acclaimed debut record by some incredible musicians including Haiku Salut, Richard Norris, Jason Singh and Leafcutter John.

This month’s Hudson Club exclusive comes from the fantastic singer and multi-instrumentalist Jim Molyneux. Jim is a member of The Lost Words: Spell Songs project and you can hear him on their recent digital album ‘Gifts of Light’, which was released on Hudson Records December 2023.

Over the past few years, his session work has included collaborations with an impressive roster of artists, such as Barry Can't Swim, Laufey, Lucy Rose, Tom Grennan, Cian Ducrot, Bow Anderson, Izzy Bizu, Grace Davies, and many more.

This month’s exclusive is a selection of three tracks, from his solo EP which will be entitled “Spiralling Down Through the Blue.”

'These are songs which have been written over the course of the past year, and explore topics of love and loss, of modernity and conformity and of the feeling of complete overwhelm which often accompanies living in a city of 9 million people. The vocals were all recorded in my room in my flat in East London, and I’m delighted to feature Junia Lin and Simmy Singh on violin, and Adam Chatterton on trumpet and flugel.

I’ve been sat on these songs for a while and I’m very grateful to Andy and Helen at Hudson Records for giving me the opportunity to finish them off this month - I’m excited for you all to hear them!’Jim
