The Tallest Man On Earth Reveals New Album 'Just Beyond Endless Mountain'

Kristian Matsson, known to the music world as The Tallest Man On Earth, is set to release his latest album, "Just Beyond Endless Mountain," arriving on October 9th. This highly anticipated record marks a significant return to his roots, both musically and geographically. Matsson has also unveiled a new single, "Deliver Me From Trying," offering fans a taste of what's to come.

For two decades, Matsson has captivated audiences with his unique folk sound, often drawing comparisons to American folk and blues traditions. However, "Just Beyond Endless Mountain" sees the Swedish artist delving deep into his own cultural heritage. After returning to Dalarna, the central Swedish countryside where he grew up, Matsson rediscovered the fiddle and the rich, traditional music of Sweden. This immersion into his homeland's musical history has profoundly shaped the new album.

In a press release, Matsson shared his journey of rediscovery: "Somewhere along the way, I'd developed this immature aversion to the whole cultural inheritance I grew up with. But now, I live here again. I've read an incredible amount — not just about the music, but about how people actually lived in the old days. I think that's part of why this record feels more like me than anything I've made before. This album really comes from somewhere." This statement highlights a personal and artistic evolution, suggesting a more authentic and deeply felt collection of songs.

The album will feature the previously released track "Colors," alongside the raw yet polished new single, "Deliver Me From Trying." The visual aesthetic for this new chapter is also noteworthy, with renowned photographer Anton Corbijn shooting the album cover and press photos, adding an iconic touch to the release. Fans can look forward to a full tracklist that includes titles like "The Wildest Of His Dreams," "Scully, It’s Me," and "The Forest Keeper."

Accompanying the album announcement is news of an upcoming fall US tour, giving fans across the United States the chance to experience Matsson's new material live. As The Tallest Man On Earth embarks on this new artistic venture, listeners can expect an album that is not only a testament to his continued artistry but also a heartfelt exploration of his Swedish identity.
