The Tallest Man On Earth

FKP Scorpio Norway presents: The Tallest Man On Earth Kulturkirken Jakob – Wednesday, February 24 The Tallest Man On Earth is returning to Oslo. After a sold-out concert at Cosmopolite in May, we look forward to reuniting with the Swedish singer-songwriter Kristian Matsson – this time in the intimate and atmospheric setting of Kulturkirken Jakob, with his new album Just Beyond Endless Mountain in tow. The album, set to be released on October 9 under ANTI-, marks a new chapter for The Tallest Man On Earth. After many years based outside of his home country, Matsson has returned to Dalarna in Central Sweden, the place where he grew up surrounded by Swedish folk music, fiddlers, and traditions he had long tried to leave behind. On Just Beyond Endless Mountain, he has instead allowed this heritage to find its way into the music – not as a nostalgic return, but as a foundation for something new. The old polskas and traditional field recordings from Dalarna have left their mark on both the melodies, the voice, and the songwriting. The result is an album that feels deeply rooted in where Matsson comes from, while also opening a new direction for an artist who, for nearly twenty years, has never been afraid to explore new musical landscapes. The Tallest Man On Earth has established himself throughout his career as one of our time's most distinctive folk artists. With his characteristic, raw vocals and virtuosic guitar playing, Kristian Matsson has captivated audiences around the world, from small clubs to large festival stages. On stage, he creates a whole universe by himself, with guitars, banjo, and piano, and a dynamism that makes the concerts both intense and deeply personal. Now, he returns to Oslo with new music – featuring a sound that marks a newer musical territory for The Tallest Man On Earth. Seated/standing concert: Standing Age limit: 18 years
