The Tallest Man on Earth

It's no secret that I've been telling anyone within ears shot that the new record from Sweedens Tallest Man on Earth is absolutely gorgeous & special.  The Wild Hunt, Matsson's sophmore release has just landed courtesy of Dead Oceans.  Now while most people swoon over the likes of Jose Gonzalez or the latest guitar plucking folk singer to stand in front of a mic, The Tallest Man on Earth is 100% real.  No gimmicks, no blog hype, no remixes, just straight ahead musical sincerity. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Gonzalez as much as the next guy, I just feel that Matsson deserves a bit of love.  Actually quite a lot of love.  So do yourself a favor & pick up a copy of the new record & do your part in thanking The Tallest Man on Earth for providing such an authentic soundtrack to an  already heavy populated genre.

Don't take my word for it?  Check prts 1 & 2 below & finish things off with a nice Jackson Browne cover while Mastsson cruises around the shop.
