The Tallest Man On Earth – Henry St. [LP]

Description

Kristian Matsson has never remained in one place for very long. Having spent much of thelast decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth, Matsson has captivatedaudiences using, as The New York Times describes, every inch of his long guitar cord toroam the stage: darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly andjittering away…Mr. Matsson is a guitar-slinger rooted in folk, and his songs are troubadourballads at heart.

Now, Matsson returns as The Tallest Man on Earth with Henry St., his sixth studio albumfollowing 2012s Theres No Leaving Now, full of vivid imagery, clever turns-of-phrase,and devastating, world-weary observations (Under The Radar) and 2015s Dark Bird Is AHome, his most personal record… surreal and dreamlike (Pitchfork). Henry St. notablymarks the first time he recorded an album in a band setting. My entire career Ive beena DIY personmostly fueled by the feeling that I didnt know what I was doing, so Id justdo everything myself. But now, longing for the energy thats only released when creatingtogether with others, Matsson invited his friends to come and play.

Nick Sanborn (of Sylvan Esso) produced Henry St., which includes contributions from RyanGustafson (of The Dead Tongues) on guitar, lap steel and ukulele, TJ Maiani on drums, CJCamerieri (of Bon Iver) on trumpet and French horn, Phil Cook on piano and organ, RobMoose (of Bon Iver, yMusic) on strings and Adam Schatz on saxophone.
