Just a year after releasing Ignorance, The Weather Station unveils How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars. This album serves as a poignant companion to its predecessor, featuring songs that are thematically and emotionally intertwined. Recorded in just three days, the music feels achingly intimate, capturing the essence of breath, silence, and detail.
Written during a prolific winter of songwriting, these tracks were initially deemed too soft for Ignorance. Taking matters into her own hands, Lindeman funded the project herself, forming a new band and embracing a fresh ethos. The focus here is on space, silence, and sensitivity, with no drums or percussion, allowing time to stretch and become elastic.
The lyrics reflect Lindeman’s skill in encapsulating profound moments, while the music often drifts into near silence, highlighting each note and breath. As opposed to the grand ambition of Ignorance, this album seeks grace, capturing the fragility of a world transformed by unforeseen events. How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is not just an album; it’s an exploration of softness and vulnerability.
