About This Item
Translucent Red Vinyl. Kristian Matsson has never remained in one place for very long. Having spent much of the last decade touring around the world as The Tallest Man on Earth, Matsson has captivated audiences using, as The New York Times describes, Inchevery inch of his long guitar cord to roam the stage darting around, crouching, stretching, hip-twitching, perching briefly and jittering away... Mr. Matsson is a guitar-slinger rooted in folk, and his songs are troubadour ballads at heart.Inch Now, Matsson returns as The Tallest Man on Earth with Henry St., his sixth studio album following 2012's There's No Leaving Now, full of Inchvivid imagery, clever turns-of-phrase, and devastating, world-weary observationsInch (Under The Radar) and 2015's Dark Bird Is A Home, his Inchmost personal record... surreal and dreamlikeInch (Pitchfork). Henry St. Notably marks the first time he recorded an album in a band setting. InchMy entire career I've been a DIY person-mostly fueled by the feeling that I didn't know what I was doing, so I'd just do everything myself.Inch But now, longing for the energy that's only released when creating together with others, Matsson invited his friends to come and play. Nick Sanborn (of Sylvan Esso) produced Henry St., which includes contributions from Ryan Gustafson (of The Dead Tongues) on guitar, lap steel and ukulele, TJ Maiani on drums, CJ Camerieri (of Bon Iver) on trumpet and French horn, Phil Cook on piano and organ, Rob Moose (of Bon Iver, yMusic) on strings and Adam Schatz on saxophone.
