eTown Time Capsule 2012 - The Tallest Man on Earth / The Spring Standards


Listen Later

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, at eTown.
