CHRISTIAN LEE HUTSON RELEASES
‘
PARADISE POP. 10 (DELUXE)’ TODAY

AN INTIMATE REIMAGINING OF KEY ALBUM TRACKS

ON TOUR NOW, NEW DATES WITH BEN GIBBARD +
CASSANDRA JENKINS ADDED

“On this album and in [“Carousel Horses”], Christian Lee Hutson explores the idea of who we are supposed to be and how do we get there.” - NPR’s All Songs Considered

“Only someone of his talent could make music that is as brilliantly interpersonal as Taylor Swift’s but as chemically and compositionally haunted as something from Nick Drake’s ’Bryter Layter’ period.” - Paste Magazine

“[Hutson] approaches lyrics with the depth and insight of a fiction writer, populating his songs with well-sketched characters and observations. ... ‘Paradise Pop. 10’ may be his strongest, most quietly devastating release yet.” - BrooklynVegan

“I've never done a deluxe for an album but there were a few songs that I wanted to try to document in a more stripped-down fashion, more like how I've been doing them on tour,” Christian Lee Hutson said of creating ‘Paradise Pop. 10 (Deluxe)’, out today. “The opening track of ‘Paradise Pop. 10’, “Tiger”, initially had completely different lyrics which Maya Hawke and I wrote and edited a bit here so that we could include a version of it. We decided to call that “Tiger 2” even though it is technically a prequel.”

Featuring only Hutson on acoustic guitar and cello and violinist Odessa Jorgensen, listen to the original album and new deluxe tracks

A captivating, breezy charm permeates every track of ‘Paradise Pop. 10’, with each song hooked around Hutson’s warm, earthy vocals and dexterous storytelling. Whether fragile finger-picking folk or rousing, beachy power pop, these songs are informed by a sense of creeping melancholy about the place Hutson has spent most of his life; in the lead up to the writing and recording of the album the sprawling, inscrutable city of Los Angeles had become haunted in his mind. A move to New York City required him to refresh his memory banks. “I wanted to make an eyes up record, a looking forward record,” he explained.

‘Paradise Pop. 10’ is co-produced with three of Hutson’s longtime collaborators: 4x GRAMMY winner Phoebe Bridgers, GRAMMY-nominated songwriter & producer Marshall Vore and GRAMMY-nominated engineer & multi-instrumentalist Joseph Lorge. The album also features guest vocals from Bridgers, Katy Kirby, and Maya Hawke - another frequent collaborator whose universally lauded new album credits Hutson as producer and co-writer.

Currently on tour in Europe, Hutson will perform at Primavera Sound and Best Kept Secret and co-headlining Levon Helms Studios in Woodstock with Cassandra Jenkins. All upcoming dates are listed below.
