Tallest Man

The Tallest Man on Earth already released “Sagres” from his upcoming album Dark Bird Is Home, one of his most fleshed-out tracks yet. Now he’s put out the title track, which is far more stripped down. It’s just Kristian Matsson and his acoustic guitar for most of the song, and it’s even more somber than the last single (which was already pretty melancholic). Listen below.

Since we last spoke, fellow folk singer Hiss Golden Messenger was added as an opener to several dates on Tallest Man’s tour (which will be full-band), including his NYC show.

The NYC show happens June 3 at Beacon Theatre. Tickets are still available (though Ticketmaster says “not many left”), and we’re also giving away a pair.
