The Weather Station - "Neon Signs" + Humanhood (Jan 17)

[2014]

This is really amazingly good - so much good new music this year already!

I'm honestly speechless at this album. It's immaculately produced and the songwriting is excellent. I was entranced from the moment "Robber" began until the album finished.

Lovely album. In addition to some of the other artists mentioned in here already, I'm getting Jane Siberry and Weyes Blood teas; occasionally Laura Marling too, mostly in relation to her vocal cadences.

 

[BrokenHearts]

I’m obsessed with this album, it’s amazing.

 

[An Insider]

I didn’t know they have an active thread here. The opening instrumental of Parking Lot can cure anxiety. What a great album!

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

Robber still just hits me in a soft spot! What an album!! Her voice isn't always what I'm looking for but with songs this strong, I can't help but stan

How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars, new companion album to Ignorance is out March 4th.

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. 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.

 

[Trouble in Paradise]

Ignorance has just continued to grow and get description of the new songs have me ready for more!!!

 

[Jonathan27]

I saw she had released a single but a whole companion album?! Bit of a flex!

This record was performed by six musicians improvising live off the floor in two sessions in late 2023. This band shaped the music indelibly in form, arrangement, mood, and feeling.

"Neon Signs" is out now and it's stunning:

 

[Beautiful Child 2]

I’ve only just very recently got into her (there?) music, so this is exciting! Beautiful album cover.

I was just thinking it was about time to put her in rotation with the longer evenings coming up! There's something really enveloping in how her songs are produced with the vocals a little buried among the instruments. Neon Signs is another winner.
