Kristian Matsson moves further away from his folkier earlier records on much of his fourth album, going for americana type stadium rock in a War on Drugs or Tom Petty vein with backing vocals & big choruses.

The strong melodies and skilled songwriting are still present however,  although the subject matter is often deeper & darker than we’re used to the album is mostly a major key, fun and enjoyable listen. opener ‘Fields Of Our Home’ is a cracking introduction to his widescreen new direction whereas ‘Little Nowhere Towns’ is solely backed by piano, so the mood is nicely broken up by stylistic changes. “choirs, keyboards & drums make well-judged accompaniments to his stark style”

“This is not the end, this is fine,” Kristian Matsson declares in the trailer for today’s announcement of his new album as The Tallest Man On Earth, titled “Dark Bird Is Home”. While “fine” is often used as a signifier of the mediocre, Matsson’s intonation suggests that fine has become the summation of living in the moment for him, the opposite of worrying about when the inevitable end will come. I can only guess this is the sentiment that will pervade Dark Bird Is Home, which is  Kristian Matsson’s fourth record and will be out 12th May. No single yet, but you can check out the cover art above and stream a brief, nature-heavy trailer plus the tracklist below.
