Description
For nearly twenty years, Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson has played his way around the world as The Tallest Man On Earth, carving out a singular place in contemporary folk music. His discography has long been heard through the lens of the American folk tradition. But Just Beyond Endless Mountain, out October 9th on Anti- Records, quietly turns that perspective on its head.
After returning to his native Dalarna in central Sweden, Matsson found himself listening to the music he had spent years trying to leave behind: the polskas, the old field recordings and the sounds of the local traditions that had surrounded him since childhood. The result is not a return to the past, but a step into new musical territory. Swedish folk music has reshaped his melodies, his voice, and the way he writes songs. The Tallest Man On Earth is back with his most deeply rooted album to date.
Just Beyond Endless Mountain opens an unexpected new chapter in a career that has never settled for familiar ground.
