Hudson

About Hudson

"Hudson” is drawn from a poem Ezra Koenig once wrote about Henry Hudson. The Hudson River looms large over New Jersey and Westchester County, New York as the path into the city’s riches. Three out of the four members of the band grew up in these places: Ezra Koenig in northern New Jersey, Chris Tomson in south Jersey, Chris Baio in Westchester. It seems to be influenced strongly by “By The Waters Of Babylon,” a short story. Later, Ezra Koenig clarified on Twitter that he has not yet read it .
