The Weather Station’s last album, Ignorance (2021), was a masterpiece. A set of lush pop songs about climate grief and lost innocence, it paired Tamara Lindeman’s sophisticated songcraft with a bold, outgoing sound palette.
How Is It … is a parallel work of voice, piano and barely-there, often improvised orchestrations recorded with different musicians; songs too intimate and delicate to fit the Ignorance tracklisting – although you can hear the similarities between songs such as Sway and Ignorance’s I Tried to Tell You.
