  "account": "The Tallest Man on Earth, also known as Kristian Mattson, is set to release his new album titled \"Just Beyond Endless Mountain\" on October 9 through Anti-. The album is heavily influenced by the traditional folk music of Sweden's Dalarna region, where Mattson spent his formative years.\n\nIn an interview, Mattson revealed that he once harbored a \"matured aversion\" to the cultural heritage he grew up with. However, his recent return to his hometown and extensive research into the old ways of life have significantly informed this album, making it more personal and authentic to him than any of his previous works.\n\n\"Beyond Endless Mountain\" follows Mattson's 2023 release \"Henry St.\" He plans to promote the new album with a cross-country tour across North America in the fall. The album comprises twelve tracks, including a cover of \"Colors\" as his first new song since 2023, titled \"Colors\". A captivating music video for the new single \"Deliver Me From Trying\" has been shot in the Swedish countryside.",
