PRAISE FOR FLATLANDER
-
“It’s a remarkable debut from an artist who’s just getting started, but already sounds like he’s been here all along.”
Planet Singer
-
“If you were looking for a perfect example of where the rootsier side of music is heading today, I can think of few better examples.”
Dancing About Architecture
-
“This album offers an incredibly varied array of influences, ranging from pop rock to power pop, 60s music, and even some 70s vibes.”

-
“There are nods to Vacationer, to Wilco, to Mumford and Sons, to MJ Lenderman — but none of those references fully pin Hutchins down. He’s carved his own lane between Americana’s sincerity and indie’s experimental edge, delivering songs that soothe while they stir.”
Music Farmer
-
“With thoughtful production, expressive vocals, and a clear sense of artistic intent, Flatlander is a confident debut that resonates beyond its influences.”

“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.”
- Maia Ciambriello of The Army, The Navy
