The weather station:: ignorance [Fat Possum]
With Ignorance, her fifth album as Weather Station, the singer-songwriter Tamara Lindeman addresses the far-reaching emotional effects of the climate crisis. In an interview with Pitchfork, she asked herself, “What would happen if you lived your life as yourself? There are times when this means that you are actually breaking some social convention. Trying to live a more honest life is an emotionally complicated prospect. “
Read Pitchforks track reviews of “Robber” and “Atlantic” as well as the interview “The weather station fights the fear of climate change, one song after the other”.
