The TALLEST MAN ON EARTH – ” Dark Bird Is Home “
Posted: February 12, 2015 in MUSICTags: Dark Bird Is Home, Kristian Matssons, singer songwriter, Tallest Man On Earth
“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.

Kristian Matteson is a singer-songwriter from Dalarna, Sweden. Since 2006, he has released three full-length albums and two EPs. He performs under the stage name The Tallest Man on Earth. He is known for recording and producing his own records in whichever home he is currently living and states that the connection between his voice and guitar is so strong, he rarely records them as separately tracked performances.He is also known both by critics and his fans for his charismatic stage presence.
Compared to Bob Dylan both in terms of songwriting ability and vocal style.When asked about his lyrical style, Matsson explains that he began listening to Bob Dylan at fifteen, and upon hearing Dylan’s cover material, he “tried to figure out where those songs came from” and became slowly exposed to early American folk, such as Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. This is how I play. This is how I write songs.
With regards to his guitar technique, Matsson uses a variety of open tunings, and standard tuning to a lesser degree. He had classical guitar training in his youth, but says he “never really focused on it” and that by the end of high school he “got bored playing guitar because it was like maths, until he then discovered open tunings while listening to Nick Drake in his early twenties. He was drawn to this style of playing because it allowed him to focus on singing while still performing intricate music.
