- The Tallest Man on Earth revealed details of his new album 'Just Beyond Endless Mountain,' set for release October 9 via the Anti- label
- Kristian Matsson said the album was inspired by the traditional folk music of Sweden's Dalarna region where he grew up, adding that he now lives there again after previously developing an "immature aversion to the whole cultural inheritance"
- The album follows 2023's 'Henry St.' and includes 'Colors,' the first new song Matsson released since 2023, shared back in May
- A new single 'Deliver Me From Trying' arrives with a video shot in the Swedish countryside, and the 11-track album includes songs titled 'The Wildest of His Dreams,' 'We Got the Pony,' 'Scully, It's Me,' and 'The Forest Keeper'
- Matsson will embark on a cross-country North American tour in the fall in support of the record
Why it matters: After years of distancing himself from the Swedish folk tradition that shaped his early work, Matsson is now leaning directly into it on his first LP since 2023 — making this a deliberate creative homecoming that deepens the scope of his catalog before a full North American tour.
