We sat down with Eric to talk about his upcoming album “Moving Up, Living Down” due out this fall. Produced by Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Eminem, Regina Spektor) and Martin Terefe (James Morrison, Jason Mraz, Train) it is Eric’s followup to “Sounds Like This“.
Eric Hutchinson “Back in London working on the new album! Songs include road-tested “In The First Place” & “Why Don’t You Try”. Excited to have you hear it!”
On December 15th, Warner Bros Records will release Sounds Like This Live 2, an EP featuring stripped-down versions of five songs from Sounds Like This. Sounds Like This Live 2 follows Hutchinson’s Sounds Like This Live EP, which features live versions of five different songs and was released in April of 2009.
“I wanted to continue the approach I had on the first EP, getting the songs back to their purest form – the way they were when I wrote them,” Eric explains. “We had a day off in Minneapolis so I went into a studio and played through the songs in one take.”
The track listing;
1. Ok, It’s Alright With Me
2. Outside Villanova
3. Food Chain
4. You Don’t Have to Believe Me
5. It Hasn’t Been Long Enough
