The Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Graves (2008)


Sounds like: basic folk, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan's voice got crossed with Jeff Mangum's in Sweden
Mp3:The Gardener

Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man on Earth, will never escape the Bob Dylan comparisons, but it doesn't seem like too terrible a shadow to live in. His voice warbles in the way any good folk singer's should, his acoustic strumming sounds refreshing yet familiar, and his lyrics are solid. He's already released a self-titled EP, but this is his first LP. Heartfelt, cryptic, and never stale. Check out the latest and greatest from Sweden.
