Anyone who watched the beautiful trailer announcing The Tallest Man On Earth’s new album and first since 2012, Dark Bird Is Home, was offered a glimpse of the title track and what is sure to be an album favorite of many.
Today, following the release of debut single, “Sagres,” The Tallest Man (aka Swedish artist Kristian Matsson) shares with the world the title track in its entirety.
“Suddenly the day gets you down // but this is not the end // no, this is fine.” What starts as an intimate, comforting solo number – just Matsson and guitar, builds into a powerful full band performance. It’s the perfect way to close out The Tallest Man On Earth’s most personal and direct album to date.
The Tallest Man On Earth’s Dark Bird Is Home is out May 12 on Dead Oceans and available for pre-order now. All iTunes and SC Distribution pre-orders come with instant free downloads of “Sagres” and “Dark Bird Is Home.” The Tallest Man On Earth will kick off his first ever full band tour on May 13. Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear and Hiss Golden Messenger will support. All dates are below.
