The Tallest Man on Earth

Swedish folkie Kristian Matsson enjoyed a mainly online cult following for many years, until he exploded into the mainstream in 2010, roping in fans with his critically adored Dead Oceans debut. Frequently tagged as a young Bob Dylan, Matsson performs songs that are simple, earnest and poignant, and he and his guitar notoriously command audiences. You'll hear from his just-released fourth LP, Dark Bird Is Home.
