Henry St.

Released in 2023, Henry St. is the sixth studio album by The Tallest Man on Earth and represents his first time recording a full-length project with a live band in the studio. Produced by Nick Sanborn (of Sylvan Esso), the album was recorded at PA's Figure 8 Studios. This context is vital, as it breaks the long-standing tradition of Kristian Matsson recording in isolation. The result is a more collaborative, 'chamber folk' sound that incorporates piano, brass, and a rhythm section. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the album's increased maturity and the successful integration of these new textures without losing Matsson's essential earnestness. It stands as a pivotal moment in his discography, signaling a move from the lo-fi bedroom aesthetics of his early 2010s work toward a more sophisticated, hi-fi studio approach that emphasizes arrangement and atmosphere over raw speed.
