Quinn Christopherson’s highly anticipated debut album is coming this year and the Anchorage based artist is leaving fans some musical breadcrumbs in the lead up. Today he is releasing “2005”, a masterclass in nostalgia. Quinn has the listener hanging on every word with his unique and captivating genius, telling stories and recalling moments in time that will make you smile and even laugh out loud at the memories he conjures. It’s this songwriting prowess that has made him one of the most exciting new songwriters right now.
Quinn tells us “‘2005’ has big rose colored glasses energy. It wasn’t the best time for me, but ‘2005’ is a collection of memories that I can look back on fondly. I know we don’t ever get do-overs, but this is my way of creating my own.”
Quinn Christopherson has been hard at work since bursting onto the scene in 2019 when he won NPR’s Tiny Desk competition. Christopherson submitted his song “Erase Me”, a spare song heavy with feeling, it unpicks the weight of newly inherited privilege. Since then he has toured the US with Courtney Barnett, Lucy Dacus, Shura, and Portugal The Man. He released ‘I Am Bubblegum’ EP in December 2021, with lead single “Bubblegum” taking listeners into his “evolving and growing as a person. It should be celebrated to not know who you are. So often we're pressured to nail down and define our identity, as if it’s something finite. However, who I am isn’t written in stone waiting for me to unearth it. Things change and that’s the point. Bubblegum chronicles some of my evolution as a person.”
