The Tallest Man on Earth

The Tallest Man on Earth

Fifteen minutes of frantic fingerpicking and gravelly, high-register vocals. A raw, unpolished introduction to a singular Swedish folk voice.

November 8, 2006 · Gravitation (2)

Find on Amazon

A restless, high-energy solitude that feels like a cold morning in the woods.

Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, percussive snap of the guitar strings on track 1 that sounds like it might break the instrument.
The moment his voice cracks into a desperate, high-register strain during the chorus of Into the Stream.
The rhythmic, almost hypnotic banjo-like speed of the fingerpicking on Steal Tomorrow.
