Kristian Matsson is set to release ‘the most personal’ album of his solo career as The Tallest Man On Earth to-date on May 12th.
‘Dark Bird Is Home‘ will be pushed with festival appearances throughout June at Best Kept Secret, Hurricane, Southside, Roskilde and, over in the States, Forecastle.
It’s his first since Live4ever’s essential 2012 effort ‘There’s No Leaving Now’. “The fact that this album does not conform to his previous work may create a divide amongst devotees of Matsson’s singer-songwriter style,” our review reads.
“It’s inevitable. But surely it’s better for an artist to experiment and to develop, expanding their palette of potential than to allow their muse to become stagnant. We should all applaud those that strive for something else. The album is a triumph. Bejewelled but uncluttered. The times are a-changing.”
