The Weather Station is set to release a new album called Humanhood on January 17 through Fat Possum.
Their latest single, “Neon Signs,” is out now with an accompanying video. Tamara Lindeman, the band’s lead, shared her thoughts: “I wrote ‘Neon Signs’ at a moment of feeling confused, upside down, at that moment when even desire falls away, and dissociation cuts you loose from a story that while wrong, still held things together. The song came with multiple strands entwined; the way that something that is not true seems to have more energetic intensity than something that is, the confusion of being bombarded with advertising at a moment of climate emergency, the confusion of relationships where coercion is wrapped in the language of love. Ultimately though, isn’t it all the same feeling?”
This album follows their previous works Ignorance (2021) and How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars (2022). Lindeman teamed up with Marcus Paquin for production and was joined by several musicians including Kieran Adams and Ben Boye.
Fans sometimes wonder how they come up with such deep lyrics.
