Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man on Earth, is back and ready to strum until his fingers bleed. The folk revivalist and Dylan reincarnation has announced a brand new album is on the way. The album, titled Dark Bird Is Home, drops May 12 via Dead Oceans. It serves as his follow-up to 2012’s There’s No Leaving Now full-length.

“This is not the end. This is fine. I sing that now, maybe to someone else for comfort in all this turmoil because the sea can be pretty heavy,” Matsson says in a new trailer for the album. It’s a little over one minute long, but the video gives us a peek at the simple strums he so masterfully pairs with the ramblings of a natural storyteller. With song titles like “Little Nowhere Towns” and “Darkness of the Dream,” it’s reasonable to assume we’re in for a treat.
