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, �every 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.�

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 �vivid imagery, clever turns-of-phrase,�and devastating, world-weary observations� (Under The Radar) and 2015�s Dark Bird Is A�Home, his �most personal record... surreal and dreamlike� (Pitchfork). Henry St. notably�marks the first time he recorded an album in a band setting. �My 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.� 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.
