THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station - the project of Toronto-based Tamara Lindeman.

On the surface, 2022 was probably a glorious year for Lindeman. Ignorance, in which her "shape-shifting avant-folk reaches a kind of climax as she coolly sings about climate grief, love, lust, healing and the upheaval of self-discovery" (New Yorker), was one of the most lauded records of the year. It was a period of touring, traveling and activism alongside Ignorance's more austere companion, How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars. But during what was supposed to be a new peak, she also struggled with a mental health crisis. While experiencing a crisis of meaning, it was out of the confusion of that experience that she wrote the songs that eventually became Humanhood, a narrative album that, if you listen to it front to back, describes the journey from dissociation back to connection
