Christian Lee Hutson turns private memory into intimate folk-pop storytelling
Christian Lee Hutson is a Los Angeles singer-songwriter whose debut album Beginners was released on ANTI- Records in 2020. The record was produced by Phoebe Bridgers and built from Hutson’s voice memos, with the homespun quality of his demos intentionally preserved. The supplied sources describe songs that move through regret, forgiveness, and the confusion of growing up, while also noting his interest in short-story-like lyric writing. Beginners also connects to earlier collaborative work and a live set released as Audiotree Live in 2016. Two documented songs from this catalog to start with are Atheist and Unforgivable, both from Beginners.
