Between Friends
BETWEEN FRIENDS is a project 20 years in the making. That’s because its band members, Sav and Brandon Hudson, are siblings. “We’ve been making music together for as long as we can remember,” they share. “We began writing when we were kids and that quickly evolved into producing and creating the sound of BETWEEN FRIENDS.” As native Angelenos, Sav and Brandon have been steeped in the city’s creative community from a young age, and their kinetic relationship with one another helps drive each towards their best output. “Because we are also best friends, we have no filter with each other, which allows everything to be said,” they share. “We’ve had the same vision since we started, so our goal has been to fill this empty, metaphorical room with as much substance as possible.” Inspired by early Fleetwood Mac records, 90s house music, 90s RnB, and hip hop, BETWEEN FRIENDS makes meticulously crafted alt-pop that takes flight amidst a flurry of diffused synths and electric guitar lines, bolstered by cavernous funk bass. “Being that we create everything on our own, our goal has been to avoid being boxed into any sort of label,” they share. “We freeform and create based on whatever we are interested in at the moment, whatever provokes emotion.” Having full creative control of what they make, Sav and Brandon have been making music at a frenetic pace, with more than fifteen songs completed. Their release approach, music like their creative process, is unconfined by norms. The duo’s upcoming tape series, to be released as three separate packs, is a testament to their ingenuity, as well as the boundlessness of their work.
