September 27 street date. Take a trip to Paradise, Pop. 10 with beloved singer-songwriter and producer, Christian Lee Hutson. Following his 2022 release "Quitters" (produced by longtime collaborator Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst), he enlisted the help of Bridgers once again to produce. The album title is based on a real life small town where Hutson spent a portion of his childhood. He takes listeners on a journey of autobiographical fiction with his signature wit and sharp storytelling. There are retable themes of love and the limbo of life in his narration across an elevated indie rock sound. In addition to Bridgers' assist, Hutson's partner Maya Hawke contributed vocals and co-wrote several songs.

May 29 street date. The buzz around CHRISTIAN LEE HUTSON started in earnest in 2018 after he began his collaborative friendship with singer Phoebe Bridgers. Hutson co-wrote songs with Bridgers for both the EP of supergroup boygenius ( ft. Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus) and her 2019 release with Conor Oberst, Better Oblivion Community Center. The emerging folk artist received further critical attention after Bridgers invited him to Eaux Claires Festival last July, where he performed a solo set and earned praise from festival host Bon Iver. Eventually, Bridgers asked if she could produce an album for him. Engineered and mixed by Joseph Lorge (Blake Mills, Perfume Genius), the forthcoming release also features contributions from Bright Eyes pianist Nathaniel Walcott. To merely call Christian Lee Hutson an old soul would be to deny the vibrancy of his sound. Hutson writes songs that the SF Bay Guardian describes as, ”... Foreboding, bluesy love ballads laden with longing nostalgia.” Hutson is an avid touring artist and his touring will take him to Austin this Spring for SXSW. For Fans of Phoebe Bridgers, Elliott Smith and Bright Eyes.

Please note new street date: April 22. Christian Lee Hutson starts his new album "Quitters" with a laugh. In this follow up to his ANTI Records debut, "Beginners", Hutson moves away from a focus on growing up to the dread and complications of growing older. Written under lockdown, the laugh that announces "Quitters" is the kind you'll find at the end of John Huston films, one of resignation and release. The song "Rubberneckers" follows the story of a romance from beginning to breakup, with backing vocals by Phoebe Bridges, who returns as producer along with Conor Oberst. If every great record is a world, then this is Christian Lee Hutson's world. It's one filled with the fuzzy haze of a dream, and the half-remembered moments of a forgotten life. Beyond the songs, it is this voice. The voice of someone who was alive in 2021 and recorded a group of songs with his friends for us to hear.
