The Tallest Man on Earth
“Sagres”
Dark Bird Is Home (out 05.12 on Dead Oceans)
After a prolific start that included three LPs and one EP in four years, Swedish folk singer Kristian Matsson returns with his first project since 2012. While he’s long outgrown the Dylan worship of his early career, “Sagres” hints that Dark Bird is Home may feature the fullest, most lush arrangements of his career. That said, no matter how they’re framed, Matsson’s expressive vocals and lyrics have always been at the core of his music, because regardless of how his style changes, he’ll always be a folk singer at heart.
