Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man on Earth, has announced his fifth studio effort. I Love You. It’s a Fever Dream. is due out April 19th via Rivers/Birds Records.
The forthcoming LP follows the 2015 full-length, Dark Bird is Home, as well as Matsson’s five-part multimedia project, When the Bird Sees the Solid Ground, which wrapped up last September. Artwork and a full tracklist haven’t been revealed just yet, but the indie musician has broken off the record’s lead single.
Dubbed “The Running Styles of New York”, a strikingly melancholy number featuring guitar paired with piano. “All that I fear is that all that I have given you/ Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control/ But I see the light in oh so many things out here,” Matsson sings, “and a lifetime gently now sits on the stairs to my home.”
Hear it for yourself below.
To support I Love You. It’s a Fever Dream., Matsson will take The Tallest Man on Earth on the road for an extensive spring tour through parts of North America, Europe, and the UK. Consult the itinerary below, and grab tickets on here.
