After sharing “Colors,” his first new song since 2023, back in May, The Tallest Man on Earth has revealed details of his new album. Just Beyond Endless Mountain was inspired by the traditional folk music of Sweden’s Dalarna region, where Kristian Mattson grew up. It’s out October 9 via Anti-. Below, watch a bucolic video for the new single “Deliver Me from Trying,” shot in the Swedish countryside.
“Somewhere along the way I’d developed this immature aversion to the whole cultural inheritance I grew up with,” Matsson said in press materials. “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.”
Just Beyond Endless Mountain marks Mattson’s follow-up to 2023’s Henry St. In the fall, he’ll embark on a cross-country tour of North America in support of the album.
