Origins is a recurring new music feature giving artists the chance to break down the inspirations for their latest release. Today, Christian Lee Hutson opens up about his new album, Quitters.

Hutson’s sophomore album Quitters, out today, reunites him with both artists, who served as producers on the project. With the encouragement of Bridgers and Oberst, Quitters was made directly to tape, rather than the digital recording method used for Hutson’s debut studio album, Beginners, also produced by Bridgers.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Unveil New Album Unlimited Love: Stream
Red Hot Chili Peppers’ long-awaited musical reunion with John Frusciante has finally arrived. Unlimited Love, the rock veterans’ first album with the guitarist since 2006, is available to stream now. Unlimited Love was produced by Chili Peppers go-to Rick Rubin and spans 17 tracks. The band waxed poetic about the genesis of the record when they announced the project back in February, explaining, “We yearn to shine a light in the world, to uplift, connect, and bring people together. Each of the songs on our new album, Unlimited Love, is a facet of us, reflecting our view of the universe.” Some of this melodrama likely comes from the return of fan-favorite guitarist Frusciante, who played on many of the band’s most iconic albums in the ’90s and 2000s. Frusciante departed the g...

Dave Grohl Unleashes Heavy Metal Dream Widow EP: Stream
Dave Grohl is nothing if not committed to the bit, which is why he’s recorded an entire trash metal EP under the name Dream Widow to coincide with his new Foo Fighters horror-comedy movie, Studio 666. You can listen to the “self-titled” EP — which, for all of its jokes, kind of goes hard — below. Grohl first unveiled the Dream Widow project back in February, when they quietly shared the thrasher “March of the Insane” like it was just another feel-good anthem. Speaking to Howard Stern, Grohl explained that Dream Widow was a central plot point to Studio 666. “I wind up finding this creepy basement. And I go into the basement, I find this tape by a band [Dream Widow] from 25 years ago that recorded there. And there’s this song that, if recorded and completed, the fucking demon in the house is...

Destroyer Share New Album LABYRINTHITIS: Stream
Destroyer have released their new album LABYRINTHITIS. Stream it below via Bandcamp or Apple Music. The creative process for LABYRINTHITIS largely took place in the isolation of 2020, with songwriter Dan Bejar in Vancouver sending ideas to frequent collaborator John Collins on the nearby Galiano Island. They found inspiration for the resulting 10-track LP in disco, Art of Noise, and New Order. “I think when we discovered, as per yoozh, that we weren’t going to be making a techno record, it wasn’t going to be sidelong Donna Summer style tracks, the idea then became — especially once John really started being inundated with bonafide music made by actual humans — to make the most disorienting record we could,” Bejar told BrooklynVegan in a recent interview. “It is relentlessly upbea...
