Lyle Hutchins debuts Flatlander on June 27
Blending alt-rock and Americana, Lyle Hutchins crafts an album that lingers long after the final track
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lyle Hutchins writes with quiet precision, pairing the emotional weight of Americana with the edge of alternative rock and the texture of folktronica. Raised in rural New Hampshire and now based in New Orleans, his songwriting reflects a life shaped by distance, introspection, and the tension between movement and belonging. Influences like Bon Iver, Ruston Kelly, and Snail Mail inform a sound that is raw, layered, and unafraid to sit with uncomfortable truths.
His debut album Flatlander is rooted in memory and transition. Named after the New England nickname for those from lower elevations, the record is a nod to Hutchins’ upbringing and the ache of leaving it behind.
Across fourteen tracks, he moves between hushed acoustic passages and sweeping, emotionally charged arrangements, crafting a body of work that feels lived-in without being overly polished. Now finishing his music studies in New Orleans, Hutchins steps into this next chapter with a clear sense of purpose.
