The Weather Station: New Single/Video “To Talk About"

The Weather Station will release her new album, How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars, this Friday, March 4th, via Fat Possum. Today, she reveals a new single/video, “To Talk About,” a frank meditation on love. Its lyrics are beautifully plaintive, conceptualizing intimate moments of expression: “When there is too much midnight to ever express, to listen to his breath, and to lay again my head on his chest. I am lazy, I only want to talk about love.” Tamara Lindeman’s voice is cushioned by piano, later joined by Ryan Driver’s tenor.

“[How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars] is a record that makes you hold your breath. A record you want to draw close. It is quite simply stunning.” - Uncut, 10/10

One year after the release of Ignorance, The Weather Station returns with How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars. The album is intended to be heard as a companion piece to Ignorance; songs written at the same time that connect thematically and emotionally, songs that reveal the vulnerability at the heart of the body of work. Recorded live in just three days, How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is achingly intimate; full of breath, silence, and detail.

How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars was recorded live off the floor at Toronto’s Canterbury Music Studios from March 10-12, 2020. With Jean Martin co-producing, Lindeman sang and played piano live while the band improvised their accompaniment; Christine Bougie on guitar and lap steel, Karen Ng on saxophone and clarinet, Ben Whiteley on upright bass, Ryan Driver on piano, flute, and vocals, and Tania Gill on wurlitzer, rhodes, and pianet. Recorded live in just three days, How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is achingly intimate; full of breath, silence, and detail.

The Weather Station just finished up the first North American leg of their tour, selling out shows all over the country. Along the way, they made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and taped a KEXP session, which was released yesterday. The Weather Station will present an intimate, solo performance of the entire new album tomorrow, Thursday, March 3rd at 9pm EST via a Bandcamp livestream.
