The Tallest Man on Earth Released the Title Track from Dark Bird is Home [stream]

The Tallest Man on Earth – Dark Bird is Home SoundCloud

Taking a step back towards his raw, unadorned musical approach, The Tallest Man on Earth just released the next track off his new album Dark Bird is Home, out May 12. Unlike the Petty-esq “Sagres”, the title track, which you can stream above, relies on a deeply emotive and personal delivery to achieve its weight. While the song initially floats somewhere between somber and upbeat, relying on gentle strumming mixed with brighter picking, it ends on a triumphant note — blending etherial swirls, striking percussion and optimistic guitar to gradually build towards an ambitious, cathartic finale. “Dark Bird is Home” marks another solid track from what will undoubtedly be one of his best albums to date.
