The album was preceded by the single “1904”, released as a digital download on 15 May 2012. The track was also made available as a free download on Rolling Stones’s official website. The album was recorded during a five-month long sessions in The Tallest Man on Earth’s home, where he lives with his wife Amanda Bergman. The release of the album was announced in March 2012, together with the record’s tracklist and artwork. During an interview released to American magazine Rolling Stone, The Tallest Man on Earth explained the sound of There’s No Leaving Now: “I wanted to build something that didn’t sound like a rock band, but wasn’t super minimalistic. I wanted a sound that had that brittle , that feeling that it might just fall apart.” Lyrically, the album is focused on the willingness to confront and deal with your own weaknesses, as, as opposed to the theme of running away, which was recurring on his previous works.
