The Weather Station's Intimate Folk (From the Archives)


Listen Later

The Weather Station's 2015 record Loyalty features eleven songs with that most laudable quality of sounding like they are being sung directly to the listener, and recorded in a small quiet room. Which is all the more remarkable for the fact that the album was actually made in a large tumbledown French chateau outside of Paris. But the intimacy captured on the record is no accident. It's the sound of The Weather Station principal Tamara Lindeman and just two multi-instrumentalist accomplices, who make every guitar flourish and drum rattle sound purposeful and in-its-place. The huge, hushed emotional terrain of the record is as sweeping and rolling as Lindeman's Canadian homeland, with songs like "Way It Is, Way It Could Be" inviting the listener like an open road. 

Setlist: "Shy Women", "Floodplain", "Way It Is, Way It Could Be"
