Tallest Man on Earth performs live in The Current studios

St. Paul, Minn. — Despite growing up in the land of disco and death metal, Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson, who goes by the moniker The Tallest Man on Earth, fell naturally into folk music.

His Bob Dylan-like voice has earned him several comparisons to the legend. Having toured with musicians like Bon Iver and John Vanderslice after releasing his first full-length, "Shallow Grave," Matsson quickly followed up with his latest album, "The Wild Hunt."

Songs performed: "The Wild Hunt," "The Drying of the Lawns," and "King of Spain."
