I just feel he sounds a little less Dylan and a little more Tallest Man on that release.

he uses a lot more nature imagery than dylan has ever done

lyrically i'd say that they are quite different

he's also a rougher and significantly more dynamic singer than dylan. also way more reliant on arpeggios.

i think as you come to appreciate kristian's songwriting more and more, the dylan comparisons become less and less necessary. there's very subtle qualities to each of the two songwriters' respective styles that separates them, but they're not obvious until you've heard enough of both artists.

also they both write great songs so it's hard to complain

Agreed with Dimsim. Most of the comparisons are pretty surface level.

Oh yeah I can definitely hear the differences between the two (I've listened to them both enough) but those obvious Dylan-isms that make up his core sound musically can often overshadow his own identity as an artist and I find that to be somehow less of a problem on that EP.

I mean countless people have written him off as nothing more than a Dylan clone and I'm not one of those people. Even if musically he does sometimes come across as a Dylan clone I maintain that he is a very good one and a good songwriter in his own right.

Deciding between this and The Wild Hunt is almost impossible, both are virtually perfect in my book.
