Album Review: Quitters by Christian Lee Hutson

Anyone looking for evidence of shared musical DNA between Bridgers and Huston will find it within the first minute of opener "Strawberry Lemonade" - a song loosely about dreaming, that sees Hutson sing of everything from "a baby boomer's last acid trip" to the daily toil of his "evil fucking life". He sings with an acute sense of necessary detachment; of someone with no choice but to dissociate from their most painful memories in order to move forward. Some may dismiss Hutson as a sort-of-imitation Phoebe Bridgers act, which would be unfair given that he has shaped her music as much as she has shaped his (Hutson has writing credits on almost half the songs on Punisher).
