TINY DESK (HOME) CONCERT STILL
The Weather Station’s Ignorance is one of the most celebrated albums of 2021 thus far. Last week, it was announced the album has been short-listed for the Polaris Music Prize. Today, Tamara Lindeman presents her Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, filmed in Tamara’s hometown in Dufferin County, Ontario, in the same woods that were the backdrop for many of the album’s music videos. The performance highlights The Weather Station’s dazzling sound, as Lindeman’s voice is cool and assured over instrumentation by Kieran Adams (drums), Christine Bougie (guitar), Philippe Melanson (percussion), Karen Ng (saxophone, clarinet), Johnny Spence (keys), and Ben Whiteley (bass). They play four of Ignorance’s tracks: “Tried to Tell You”, “Parking Lot”, “Atlantic”, and “Robber”.

Also today, The Weather Station releases a stripped back, piano version of Ignorance standout “Tried To Tell You”. It relies solely on Lindeman’s vocals and soft piano. “I've always had a soft spot for the traditional ballad, for the heart loosening pull of that deep pocket, big feelings, classic kind of song, that you don't hear too often anymore,” says Lindeman. “When we recorded ‘Tried To Tell You’, it always seemed important to me to capture the subliminal fierceness of the song, to have those strong drums, sharp strings, to preserve the hard edges of it. But as time has passed, and I've played this song alone, I realized it also had a softness to it, that it also works as a classic ballad, a classic song. So I wanted to record a deep pocket big feelings iteration of the song, to sit alongside the album version, as they both feel equally valid to me.”

PRAISE FOR IGNORANCE
"Ignorance suggests a new way to see the world, asking only that you release yourself to wildness and feeling, to the unanswerable questions and the world beyond yourself. It's all there — in the shifting clouds and the upward spiral of birds, in the opening flowers and the weeds that overtake them — just waiting to be found" - Exclaim!
“Ignorance stands as an invigorating and poignant chapter in an already impressive career.”
