Released this Friday (September 23) via -Anti, it will include the previously shared rendition of Yo La Tengo’s ‘Tears Are in Your Eyes’, as well as Hank Williams’ ‘Lost Highway’, which is out today. Take a listen below.
“This past year, I’ve spent a lot of time touring but also writing and recording an album that I’m wildly proud of and will see the light of day eventually,” Kristian Matsson explained in a statement. “But in the small hours in between trips and sessions, mostly in my house in Sweden and an Airbnb in North Carolina, I lo-fi recorded some covers here and there. Many times as a reset button for my own song writing, to cleanse the palate from my whirlpool mind while writing songs. A little document of songs I had on my mind during those nights.”
