    I Love You. It's A Fever Dream is hardly cluttered, but it's those little details that really lift his fifth LP as The Tallest Man On Earth. [Aug 2019, p.116]

    A surprisingly introspective album. [Jul 2019, p.37]

    Even when the songs tend towards harrowing, questioning themes, I Love You. It's a Fever Dream still sounds romantic, soft, and even a little bit naïve. The deepening emotional content that Matsson laces into his familiarly sweet songwriting makes this set of songs one of his most resonant and revisitable.
