The Tallest Man on Earth

"Dark Bird Is Home"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 14, 2015

Swedish folk fellow the Tallest Man on Earth's new album is rather cryptically called Dark Bird Is Home, and now he's shed a little light on that Dark Bird by sharing the title track.

The song begins as a quiet ditty consisting entirely of acoustic strums and a warm and cozy vocal melody with conciliatory lines like "This is not the end / No, this is fine." The arrangement remains solo for more than three minutes, but a full band eventually enters and the song swells to a lofty climax in its final passage.

Hear it below [via Esquire]. Dark Bird Is Home will arrive on May 12 on Dead Oceans.
