Matsson is man that is very much so, unique. Mainstream music lovers might possibly be annoyed and dislike it after a minute or so-and I don't say that naively because I just got asked to turn it off while I was listening to him. Despite those "boring people", indie music lovers are not surprised by the unique sound of Kristian Matsson’s voice and music style.
The Tallest Man on Earth is the moniker of folk musician Kristian Matsson of Dalarna, Sweden (born April 30, 1983). Mattson plays guitar, banjo and piano and has released two full-length albums, the first entitled Shallow Grave and the second entitled The Wild Hunt, and two 5-track EPs. Kristian Matsson is the former lead singer for the band Montezumas and released a self-titled album with Montezumas in 2006 before releasing a solo self-titled EP in 2007. Since then he has produced four more music forms (singles, EP’s, album’s)
His voice is rough yet emotional, which makes his music so special. If he feels angry, or even intense happy emotion about something he sings louder, if he feels something is sensitive he will do the opposite. He has great instruments to accompany him-the banjo is so underused nowadays and it is lovely to see someone doing what they want, and doing it well.
I love finding an out of the ordinary sounding artist. It becomes refreshing. The Tallest Man on Earth is a very refreshing singer that everyone should at least listen to once. Well, maybe twice, usually you appreciate it more the second time. You can do so on youtube, facebook, myspace, and other search engine forms.
