[ALBUM: Review] The Tallest Man On Earth – There’s No Leaving Now

For a writer, I have very little patience for acoustic dudes emoting wordily – I find singer-songwriters to be, as a breed, aesthetically lazy. But Kristian Matsson’s crinkly, creaky voice scratches an itch you never knew you had; his lyrics are wonderfully cryptic, a cocktail of layered imagery and brutal flashes of raw truth that owes far more to Dylan (to whom he is repeatedly, reflexively, tiresomely likened) than his singing style does.
