Tallest Man On Earth – ‘Some Will Spare You’

A few months ago Kristian Mattson (aka The Tallest Man On Earth) and Amanda Bergman (aka Idiot Wind) signed on to write a series of songs for a Swedish film called Once A Year. This was obviously fantastic news as any word that Kristian Mattson is doing anything at all in relation to anything at all is cause to fist pump and mouth off to to those around you (a la Lleyton Hewitt circa 2001). Yesterday I heard part of the first of the seven songs that they’ve written for the film, this one featuring Mattson in the foreground while Bergman delivers backing vocals and my word, it’s superb. If you thought Mattson’s voice on it’s own was a serious business, wait until you hear it entwined with Bergman’s. Initially it didn’t look as if a soundtrack would be released separately but director Gorki Glaser-Müller has since said that the songs have taken on a life of their own and could very well see a retail release. Nice one Gorki. The track you hear in the below film trailer is called ‘Some Will Spare You’
