The Tallest Man On Earth Returns with ‘Colors’ After Nearly Three Years

Kristian Matsson’s first release since 2022 blends guitar and plucked violin, recorded at home while on tour.

Kristian Matsson has released a new song under his Tallest Man On Earth moniker, the first in nearly three years. The single, titled “Colors,” arrives while Matsson is on the road, playing concerts across Scandinavia and a handful of dates in Ireland. He recorded and pieced together the track at his home studio over the past few months.

The song holds to the indie-folk palette that defined earlier work, but with a careful, unhurried arrangement. Guitar lines curl around plucked violin, and Matsson’s voice, instantly familiar, carries the melody without force. There is no grand reinvention, just a songwriter shaping a moment at home while his live audience waits for something new.

A video accompanies the release, gathering footage from recent tour stops. It keeps the focus on motion and place, matching the song’s steady, unassuming pace. The single does not announce a larger project, and no album details have been confirmed. For now, “Colors” stands as a signal that the Tallest Man On Earth is still writing, still playing, and still showing up.
