There’s No Leaving Now

The Tallest Man on Earth

Intricate fingerpicking meets a new, patient stillness. A warmer, more expansive take on the lonely Swedish forest sound, introducing piano and pedal steel.

June 11, 2012 · Dead Oceans

A patient, domestic melancholy that finds beauty in staying still rather than running away.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the frantic strumming of the opening tracks to the stark, lonely piano chords of the title track.
The way the pedal steel sighs behind the melody on Wind and Walls, adding a country-tinged weight to the Swedish folk sound.
The final, sustained vocal note on On Every Page that feels like a literal exhale after forty minutes of tension.
