Pressmeddelande -
Hyllade The Weather Station kommer med nytt album 4 mars, singel och video idag och spelar i Skandinavien i vår!
För ett år sedan släppte The Weather Station ”Ignorance”, ett av 2021 års mest hyllade album.
Idag berättar Tamara Lindeman om det nya albumet "How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars" som kommer den 4 mars via Fat Possum och presenterar dessutom första singeln/ videon; "Endless Time".
"How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars" är smärtsamt intimt; fullt av tystnad och detaljer. Tamara berättar: “When I wrote Ignorance, it was a time of intense creativity, and I wrote more songs than I ever had in my life. The songs destined to be on the album were clear from the beginning, but as I continued down my writing path, songs kept appearing that had no place on the album I envisioned. Songs that were simple, pure; almost naive. Songs that spoke to many of the same questions and realities as Ignorance, but in a more internal, thoughtful way.” Lindeman elaborates, “So I began to envision How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars, a quiet, strange album of ballads. I imagined it not as a followup to Ignorance, but rather as a companion piece; the moon to its sun.”
I "Endless Time" som släpps idag, sjunger Lindeman om smärtan i en relationsförlust, sammanflätad med oron för den förestående klimatkrisen. Tamara berättar om videon till Endless Time: "Through the pandemic, as I've walked through the city, something I see is that nearly everyone is struggling in some way; moving through feelings of worry or fear or loss. These feelings are a shared experience, and yet we don't share them; in Toronto especially, there is a lot of passing by one another with eyes down. I do it too. Music videos often depict fantasies; they often function as a sort of wish fulfillment. This video is sort of like a fantasy, a depiction of an imaginary world where all the strangers on the street meet each other in kindness, comfort, grief, and emotional honesty. And shared experiences are truly shared".
I slutet av mars/början av april kommer The Weather Station äntligen till Skandinavien!
