In this chat, Kristian and I talk a lot about his brand new record, Henry St., including some of the themes behind its songs and music, the production with Nick Sanborn in North Carolina, the writing process, and how the album felt a little different from his past work, especially his prior record, I Love You. It's a Fever Dream. We touch upon his time seeing Joni Mitchell at Newport Folk Festival, the greatness of "Both Sides Now", and more. We also debut a little game I call Setlist Pop Quiz.

In today's episode, we are thrilled to have Swedish troubadour Kristian Matsson, better known as The Tallest Man on Earth, as our guest. In April, he released his highly anticipated 7th studio record, "Henry St.”. It's a beautiful record that marks a new chapter in his musical journey as he expands his sound with a full band. In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Kristian about his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, which unfortunately prevented him from writing new music. We delve into his collaboration with Nick Sunburn (Sylvan Esso) and the transition to a fuller sound with a band. Additionally, we explore Kristians earliest memories of touring Australia, as he is set to return for a tour in December of this year.The Tallest Man on Earth: Instagram / Facebook / SpotifyThanks again to Kristin Matsson for his time.

Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth is a Swedish singer-songwriter whose poetic lyrics and gravely voice has captivated listeners since the release of his self-titled debut EP in 2006. His first full album 'Shallow Grave' (2008) and the follow-up 'The Wild Hunt' (2010) garnered the Swedish songwriter an international following, and he has aimed to evolve his folky sound ever since. His latest effort is the album 'Henry St.' (2023), an album on which he enlisted the help of a full band for the first time. We sat down with Kristian in Amsterdam and talked about the album, his connection to the U.S., feelings of gratefulness, confidence and doubt in songwriting, his songs impacting others, and a lot more!Interview by: Robin HignellSupport the showThank you for listening!

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got a pair of singer-songwriters who've taken interesting names for what are essentially solo ventures: Kevin Sullivan, aka. Field Medic, and Kristian Matsson, better known as the Tallest Man on Earth.  Matsson has been making music as the Tallest Man since about 2006, winning fans both with his largely spare, Bob Dylan-like songs and his incredibly forceful live shows. Though he's from Sweden, Matsson is definitely influenced by the American folk tradition, especially on his early records, like the classic 2008 debut Shallow Grave. He's since released a handful of excellent albums, and in this conversation with Kevin Sullivan, he drops some hints about a new one that he's really excited about to be released in 2023. In the meantime, the Tallest Man on Earth just released his first all-covers album, and though he downplays it a little bit, it's pretty amazing. It's called Too Late for Edelweiss, and on it he covers songs written by everyone from Hank Williams to Bon Iver to the National. Kevin Patrick Sullivan, who records under the name Field Medic, has long been known for a pretty Spartan approach to recording: Most of his songs have been made super simply, in the folk tradition but with decidedly modern subject matter. For his upcoming fifth album, which has the deliciously long title grow your hair long if you're wanting to see something that you can change, Sullivan decided to grow his sonic palette and bring in a producer. His confessional, put–it-all-out-there lyrics are still fully intact, of course. Field Medic will take these songs out for a headlining tour that features a full band this fall—a first for Sullivan. Check out the latest single from the new album, called “I Think About You All The Time.” This is a fun conversation given that these guys don't know each other, but they're quick to connect. Tallest Man was clearly an influence on Field Medic's sound, and we get to hear about a long-ago fan interaction between the two that did not, I repeat did not, involve marijuana. They also chat about finding inspiration when it's gone missing, about the wonder of the Milli Vanilli story, and about which of them wanted to be Bob Dylan in high school, and which wanted to be Lou Reed. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast and thanks to Kevin Sullivan and Kristian Matsson for chatting.

Nick & Helen welcome indie sensation Kristian Matsson (who performs under the moniker The Tallest Man on Earth). Kristian hails from Sweden and, of late, has burst onto the US music scene, building a huge fan base in an astonishingly short amount of time. He brings his stripped down, soulful sound (which often gets him compared to Bob Dylan) to the show. And relative newcomers The Spring Standards join us this week as well. They were childhood friends and reunited after college to continue creating their uniquely original sound; they're currently enjoying an underground following and growing buzz in the industry. Stellar music, great conversation and a moving E-Chievement Award story, too. That's this week, in eTown.

This week, we take the show to the countryside of Sweden for an intimate talk with Kristian Matsson, poet-songwriter and masterful acoustic multi-instrumentalist who has released five acclaimed albums and two EPs over the last decade and a half, performing as The Tallest Man on Earth. Growing up in the small hamlet of Leksand, a three hour trek from Stockholm, Mattson was in rowdier indie-rock outfits like Montezumas before breaking out with his own dreamier acoustic material - gaining international notice with his breakout solo offering 'Shallow Grave' in 2008. Tours with Bon Iver across North America gained Matsson an adoring audience in the states, where he ended up setting up shop in Brooklyn. Most often performing solo even on the biggest stages, Matsson is known to have seven or more intricate tunings for his guitars and banjos, and with his high, cutting voice and cryptic, nature-inspired lyrics, he has been compared to some of his heroes like Roscoe Holcomb, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon but with a Swedish-naturalist touch. Songs like “Love Is All” or “The Gardener,” while gaining tens of millions of steams on folky playlists, pack quite a punch, often detailing how the cold cruelty of the animal kingdom filters into human life with its many frailties. In 2019, Matsson found his marriage to a fellow Swedish singer-songwriter ending and he holed up in his Brooklyn apartment to write, produce and engineer his newest Tallest Man On Earth LP, 'I Love You. It's A Fever Dream.' Like Springsteen's eerie and emotional 'Nebraska,' Matsson's collection is a clear-eyed view of our current state of interpersonal (and even societal) isolations. Standout songs like the warm guitar and echoey harmonica opener “Hotel Bar” - though written before he knew what would happen with our current pandemic - seem to capture the lost closeness and romance of our very recent past, where one could fall in love with a new stranger every night in a new town and think nothing of it. Sequestered in a small house in the middle of Sweden since the world shifted last year, a new Tallest Man On Earth album is sure to be on its way. Admittedly Matsson is going a bit stir-crazy away from the road, but really he's grateful to be able to have the time to explore and create new sounds without any distractions. A fall tour of the states is in the works (fingers crossed), including an opening slot at Red Rocks joining Mandolin Orange and Bonny Light Horseman.

Kristian Matsson is one of our generation’s most influential Folk artists. His unforgettable live show that is composed of material from his 5 albums and 2 EPs have garnered him a global following of millions of listeners. Support this podcast on Patreon!

Fitzcarraldo 1️⃣4️⃣ #fitz14 Dejamos a tras el ruinoso 13. Nosotros tampoco hemos visto al Rey pero vimos un tipo desnudo corriendo detrás de un jabalí. La peligrosidad de los jabalíes 🏃‍♂️🐗 . Los ingleses 🇬🇧 se van a las playas, pero no a las nuestras se quedan en las suyas. Las vecinas que toman el sol en toples enfrente de casa. Las expectativas parecen altas, aunque la realidad siempre defrauda. Comenzamos nuestra selección musical. Íbamos a buscar canciones relacionadas con el calor, pero no pudimos por que de verdad hace demasiado calor para buscar canciones sobre el calor. Empezamos con Alex Ebert, cantautor americano que ha capitaneado bandas como “Ima Robot” y “Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros”, ponemos “Only love” una canción que nos encanta de su EP “In support of 5ame dude” de 2018. El amor es complicado que se lo pregunten a nuestro querido monarca. Suena “The King of the Spain” de The Tallest Man On Earth, homenaje a nuestro Rey en fuga. Si veis al Rey poneos en contacto inmediatamente con nuestro programa. The Tallest Man on Earth es Kristian Matsson, que en realidad no es el hombre más alto del mundo, y aunque hace folk americano y parece oriundo de los US es sueco. Aprovechamos para desmentir la presencia de Juancar en nuestra casa. Continuamos con toda una leyenda, Neil Young - Reprise Records, un artista prolífico, compartimos “Powderfinger” un tema perteneciente a “Hitchiker” un álbum que vio la luz en 2017 pero que se grabó mucho antes; el 11 de agosto de 1976, en los Indigo Studios de Malibú , en una sola sesión durante una noche, colocado y únicamente con su guitarra, sólo el músico y el técnico David Briggs, la canciones se grabaron en un sola toma. El resultado es un disco muy autentico, aunque en su momento los ejecutivos de la discográfica prefirieron no editarlo, al considerarlo una simple colección de demos. Música que se graba en lo más profundo del alma. Hablamos de los enfermos de alzhéimer que lo olvidan casi todo, pero que son capaces de recordar las canciones. Seguimos con la galesa Kelly Lee Owens y su colaboración con el mítico John Cale de la “The Velvet Underground”, también galés, un adelanto del esperadísimo disco de Kelly Lee Owens, “Inner Song” que ha tenido que retrasar su lanzamiento al 28 de agosto. En "Corner of My Sky", Cale canta en inglés y en galés. Sobre la colaboración, Owens cuenta en un comunicado: "Sabía que en este disco necesitaba conectar con mis raíces, por eso sumar el idioma galés era muy importante para mí. Una vez que la música estaba compuesta y los sonidos hechos, le mandé directamente el track a John y le pregunté si quizás le interesaba ahondar en su herencia galesa y contar la historia de esta tierra a través de poesía, spoken-word, canción". La voz de anciano de John Cale (78 años) se mezcla con la música tecno y futurista de Kelly, el resultado es fascinante. Hay que leer el periódico vegano de Brooklyn para estar al tanto de las últimas novedades musicales. Nos vamos de Galés a Escocia con Marsault, como el protagonista del extranjero de Camus, una banda escocesa alejada del guitarreo y el pop melódico de otras bandas de la zona. Una voz muy peculiar acompañada por electrónica y piano, os ponemos “Simple is good”. Marsault, el extranjero, ciertos ecos en la primera novela de Michel Houellebecq , “Ampliación del campo de batalla”. A continuación ponemos a Jamila Woods, cantante, poetisa, y activista de Chicago. El año pasado lanzó el disco conceptual “Legacy! Legacy!”. Ahora estrena canción “SULA” (Paperback) basada en la novela de mismo nombre de Toni Morrison y que ya había inspirado el primer poemario de la artista. La novela ambientada en los EE.UU. en el período de entreguerras, Sula es un portentoso retrato del poder de lo femenino en una comunidad pobre y rural de negros, donde las mujeres reinan como madres, hechiceras y depositarias de la tradición oral. ▶️46:38 Michel Houellebecq y Gérard Depardieu protagonizan la película 'Thalasso', donde disertan sobre lo humano y lo divino en un centro de terapias en Normandía, el Gordo y el Flaco, don Quijote y Sancho en un espacio cerrado y sin escapatoria. Disertamos sobre las novelas de balneario. La enfermedad como acto de rebeldía ante la dictadura de lo sano. Esta película es la continuación de “El secuestro de Michel Houellebecq”, amabas películas dirigidas por Guillaume Nicloux, que además es novelistas. Un director con una trayectoria larga que va desde su primeras películas experimentales, pasando luego por la comedia y el cine negro, y también la televisión. Recorremos un poco la trayectoria Michel Houellebecq, una de las grandes figuras de las letras francesas y una de sus voces más lucidas y polémicas. No sabemos cual puede ser el germen de un proyecto tan marciano. Parece todo una improvisación con unas directrices generales sin un guion prefijado. Momentos hilarantes. Unos personajes disfuncionales. La valentía de Houellebecq de exponer de una manera tan intima sus propias miserias. Nunca llegamos a saber quién ejecuta el secuestro ni quién paga el rescate, pero tampoco importa. Thalasso comienza justo en el final del "El secuestro de Michel Houellebecq”. Houellebecq acude a un balneario y allí se encontrará con Gérard Depardieu, lo que dará pie a desternillante confidencias entre ambos.. por ejemplo Michel desvelará su intención de presentarse a la presidencia de Francia. Una película de la conversaciones. Una gran frase final:” El drama de envejecer es que sigues siendo joven”.

Kristian Matsson aka the Tallest Man on Earth's brilliant performance at the Newport Folk Festival 2015

Fans overflowed well beyond the point at which they could reasonably be expected to see the singer on stage, as Kristian Matsson blazed through songs from each of his records, with an emphasis on this summer's terrific 'There's No Leaving Now.'

Swedish singer and guitarist Kristian Matsson is a soft-spoken guy who stands somewhere around five and a half feet tall. But on stage, he's known as The Tallest Man on Earth, a name he's earned by giving unforgettable live performances with one of the boldest, most captivating voices around. Hear him perform live in this full concert, recorded in Washington, D.C. Oct. 3, 2010.

The young Swedish folksinger Kristian Matsson, a.k.a. The Tallest Man on Earth, is passionate, gruff, a great guitar picker and a damn good poet. The melodies are strong, but Matsson's imagery and stories are what make his music stand out. Here, he performs three of his best songs at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.
