- Kristian Matsson (The Tallest Man on Earth) returned to his native Sweden to record his new album Just Beyond Endless Mountain, framing the project as a rediscovery of his heritage.
- The album is rooted in nature themes, with Matsson saying he grows more cynical but still searches for moments of awe — quoting himself: 'I get more cynical, but I search for the moments you get to be in awe of how cool a tree is.'
Why it matters: For an artist whose identity has been built on movement and wandering, choosing to record in his native Sweden — and explicitly tying the record to nature and heritage — signals a deliberate, cathartic homecoming that reframes his creative foundation.
