The Tallest Man On Earth


Kristian Matsson is not in any Guiness Book of World Records editions as being the actual Tallest Man On Earth, but he is one to note. His 2008 release "Shallow Grave" scored an 8.3 from Pitchfork, a pretty great feat, considering how tough the folks at good old Pitchfork can be. I'll spare all the folk hero comparisons, and instead recommend two tracks below. "The Gardener" makes the world and love seem like a pretty good idea, for about 4 minutes. The Tallest Man On Earth will be performing at the Troubadour, this Thursday, March 26th. Click HERE for direct Troubadour tickets link.
