The Weather Station + Special Guests
Ignorance, the critically acclaimed album by The Weather Station, begins enigmatically; a hissing hi hat, a stuttering drum beat. A full minute passes before the entry of Tamara Lindeman’s voice, gentle, conversational, intoning; “I never believed in the robber”. A jagged music builds, with stabbing strings, saxophone, and several layers of percussion, and the song undulates through five minutes of growing tension. Once again, Toronto songwriter Tamara Lindeman has remade what The Weather Station sounds like.
