    The Los Angeles singer-songwriter spinning tales of dark, often questionable situations in a barely-there whisper atop folkish instrumentation that owes similar debts to the city’s famed ‘70s scene and Elliott Smith. With yes, witty lyrical asides that jar smartly with his seemingly timeless sound.

    Christian Lee Hutson manages to make you care about him and his life even as he artfully reveals his darkest side on Quitters, and while it's hard to tell if he thinks California really is beautiful or if he's one of the doubters, he tells his stories well enough that you'll follow this LP to the end as you try to figure it out.

    An album that often gets consumed into a pleasant fog.

    The first album was fantastic. This sophomore feels messy and contrived, like an obligatory lockdown album. Hutson can do a lot better thanThe first album was fantastic. This sophomore feels messy and contrived, like an obligatory lockdown album. Hutson can do a lot better than this - not even Bridgers' production can save this gritless, sad-sack LP. Expand
