The Tallest Man on Earth
Kristian Matsson, one guitar, a voice like cracked porcelain.
Kristian writes from a Dalarna farmhouse in a fingerpicked, Dylan-adjacent tradition that became its own thing about three records in. The arrangements have grown; the writing has only got sharper.
- Bob Dylan
- Nick Drake
- Townes Van Zandt
- Daniel Norgren
- Bon Iver
