Neither a sequel nor a satellite to 'the wild hunt', the tallest man on earth's ep, 'sometimes the blues is just a passing bird', is a statement in its own right. while many post-lp eps round up same-session tracks or studio experiments for diehard fans, these five austere folk songs were written on the road and recorded during a recent break from touring. they're unmistakably tallest, marked by the vulnerability in kristian matsson's croak of a voice, the strident complexity of his guitarwork, and his thoughtful, often fractured lyrics inspired, ostensibly, by his native sweden - specifically the mountainous region of dalarna, northwest of stockholm. and yet, despite the same elements, 'sometimes the blues is just a passing bird' has a very different character from 'the wild hunt'. it's slightly darker, more wounded, muted, and meditative. the ep allows matsson to explore one particular mood: a primary colour in his palette, a bluesy melancholy that defines and permeates every song here.
