Named after an alt-country troubadour and raised in a rural corner of New Hampshire, Lyle Hutchins always knew he wanted to be a musician. His songs, inspired by artists like Bon Iver, Ruston Kelly and Snail Mail, offer a unique blend of cathartic Alternative Rock, Americana, and Folktronica that simultaneously tugs on your heartstrings and forces you to crack a wry smile. As he closes out his time studying music in New Orleans, Lyle Hutchins steps into the spotlight with Flatlander, his debut full-length album, arriving June 27th. The 14-track project is a deeply personal exploration of nostalgia, homesickness, heartbreak, underscored by the trials and tribulations of pursuing an often misunderstood career in music. Maia Cambriello, half of the rising LA-based folk-pop group The Army, The Navy, had this to say of Lyle’s new album: “Lyle is a thoughtful and intricate songwriter and performer…His latest album is sweet, and reminds me a bit of Kings of Convenience. It is the perfect album to put in your ears on a summer day walk. He writes with such intention.” The title, being a reference to the New England phrase referring to those from less mountainous locales, roots the album in the 21-year-old’s childhood experience in the region. From its hushed folk introspection to its soaring alt-rock catharsis and beyond, Flatlander proves Hutchins isn’t just telling his story — he’s capturing that universal moment when the darkness starts to crack and the light finally creeps in.
