"1904"


















As previously mentioned, Swedish folk-artist Kristian Matsson aka The Tallest Man on Earth will be releasing his third LP, There's No Leaving Now June 12 in the U.S. on the Dead Oceans label. We now have our first taste of the album with the rustic and restrained "1904." Matsson's vocals here are dialed-down, avoiding the Dylanesque croak he is often known for. And while his guitar-playing has always been his greatest strength, he adds a new dimension on this cut with country-flavored fretwork. "Sometimes noise is just your mind," Matsson recalls on the first verse. Here there's no "noise," just a man, his guitar, and the soft whisper of a year long since past.
