Pistol Dreams- The Tallest Man On Earth



Most commonly compared to the indie-folk sounds of Iron & Wine and M. Ward, The Tallest Man On Earth, also known as Kristian Matsson, has only produced one solo album and EP so far, yet his recognition is steadily growing. Beginning as the lead singer for the band The Montezumas, Matsson has launched a solo career and gone on tour with fellow folk musician Bon Iver.
The meaning behind "Pistol Dreams" is clearly up for interpretation; although lines like "And I will pull the curtains to extract the drugs of springtime" don't align with other parts of the song, listeners can find different symbolic meaning behind his poetic descriptions.
With a voice unlike others, Kristian Matsson's unique range and banjo playing is strangely addictive and quite catchy.
