The Weather Station

BAND
The Weather Station
The Weather Station, the project of Toronto-based Tamara Lindeman returned this year with Humanhood.
Humanhood, the most arresting album Lindeman has ever made as The Weather Station, follows 2021’s Ignorance. It was written during one of the most difficult periods of Lindeman’s life and rendered with a rock band with improvisational chops just as she began to recover by reckoning with a complicated truth: Sometimes, life simply tries to dismantle us, no matter how good everything may seem, and we must accept that in order to survive.
But at an ostensible new professional peak, she was also struggling with a mental health crisis. Working through a crisis of meaning, she wrote from within the confusion of the experience to create the songs that would ultimately become Humanhood, a narrative album that, listened to front to back, transcribes the journey from dissociation back towards connection.
