Swedish folk. That’s right, Swedish folk.
Anyone who has ever said “I just can’t get past Bob Dylan’s voice” can forego the remainder of this entry. Kristian Matsson, the self-proclaimed and decidedly-not tallest man on earth, has a very distinct, very raw voice. It’s his pure enthusiasm that catches you. His ability with guitar and poetic lyrics keep you around.The “King of Spain” is seemingly about the transformative powers of love. That’s certainly not new lyrical terrain, but the song twists the formula as the singer fights to stay within his illusion while the object of his desire, the very reason he is having such delusions of grandeur, continually tries to snap him out of it. In the end, it’s the dream of becoming something new, something great, that proves stronger than the love that inspired the thought in the first place.
