The Weather Station, the solo project of Tamara Lindeman, has shared details of a new album, titled How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars.
Due in March, the 10-track album is billed as a companion piece to last year’s Ignorance, which placed highly among tQ’s favourite albums of 2021. The songs on the albums were written at the same time as those that appeared on Ignorance and were recorded live in a period of three days in 2020. Above, you can watch a video for lead cut ‘Endless Time’.
Speaking about the new album in a statement, Lindeman said: "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 follow-up to Ignorance, but rather as a companion piece; the moon to its sun."
Fat Possum will release How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars on March 4, 2022.
