“Age Difference” By Christian Lee Hutson

Christian Lee Hutson has shared a new video, animated by Nick Slye for “Age Difference,” the track is off his forthcoming release Quitters, which drops on April 1, 2022 via ANTI-. The full-length was Produced by Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst,

Said Slye of the animation: “1,100+ individual pencil drawings make up this 5 minute hand drawn dream. Christian’s style of lyricism and melody in “Age Difference” lend themselves to vivid lucid dream-like imagery and create the euphoric feeling of falling fast asleep while listening to your favorite album, waking in a haze only remembering bits and pieces trying to decipher what was real and what was fantasy.”

The track concerns a character who is finding that they are on the dark side of their thirties. Hutson said, “There’s a specific type of an older man that I have encountered a lot in LA. The aging rocker who hasn’t had a long relationship and they are the McConaughey-like character who is dating a much younger girl, and they have just stopped progressing.” But Hutson refuses to pass judgment in a world filled with judgment. He is interested in describing the world the way it is, not the way we want it to be.

“We made Quitters all at once,” Hutson said of collaborating with Bridgers and Oberst. “We hadn’t seen each other for sixth months and this was the first time being in the room together again. It was a real familial feeling, working with the same people, playing with the same people where everyone gets so good at knowing one another’s tricks and are complimenting one another’s weird mistakes. My favorite records are when the guitar gets fucked up and then that becomes the recorded version. And it’s those accidents that make them special.”
