New album from The Tallest Man on Earth this spring
The Tallest Man on Earth, otherwise known as Kristian Matsson, is a fantastic Swedish folk musician. He’s already released a selftitled 5-track EP, a beautiful full-length album by the name Shallow Graves as well as touring with Bon Iver.
To say we’re impressed with Matsson’s debut album is a massive understatement. He made one of the best folk albums I’ve heard to this date.
Suffice to say, we’ve been looking forward to a follow-up for quite some time, and we’ll probably end up fighting a while over who of us should get to review it.
The new album will be named The Wild Hunt and is scheduled to be released 13. April on Dead Oceans. They’ve released a free mp3 of the song “King of Spain,” which will be featured on the new album and you can listen to it below. It’s a great song and if it’s representative for the rest of the album, I think we have something great to look forward to.
Tracklist:
- The Wild Hunt
- Burden of Tomorrow
- Troubles Will be Gone
- You’re Going Back
- The Drying of the Lawns
- King of Spain
- Love Is All
- Thousand Ways
- A Lion’s Heart
- Kids on the Run
