Shallow Grave

The Tallest Man on Earth

Solo acoustic intensity. Intricate fingerpicking and a gravelly, urgent voice transform a single guitar into a full, restless orchestra.

March 5, 2008 · Mexican Summer

Find on Amazon

A restless, high-energy solitude that feels both ancient and urgently modern.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, percussive slap of palm against guitar strings that drives the rhythm of The Gardener.
The sudden, vulnerable crack in the vocal delivery during the high notes of Honey Won't You Let Me In.
The way the room's natural reverb captures the decaying ring of the final open chord on Into the Stream.
