  • The Weather Station Announces New Album “Humanhood”, Shares New Song “Neon Signs”

  • Toronto-based singer-songwriter Tamara Lindeman's project The Weather Station has announced their upcoming seventh studio album “Humanhood” will be released on January 17, 2025 via Fat Possum Records.


    It is their first album in two years since the 2022 album “How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars”.
    The album comprises 13 songs, which Tamara Lindeman recorded over two sessions in fall of 2023 at Canterbury Music Company with co-producer Marcus Paquin, drummer Kieran Adams, keyboardist Ben Boye, percussionist Philippe Melanson, woodwind player Karen Ng, and bassist Ben Whiteley, along with contributions from Sam Amidon, James Elkington, and Joseph Shabason.
    The album turns inward as Tamara Lindeman went through a very difficult period in her life, struggling with a mental health crisis.
    From the album, The Weather Station released the first single called “Neon Signs” along with a music video on October 2, 2024.
    The track was written and produced by Tamara Lindeman, with production by Marcus Paquin.
    The accompanying video was directed by Tamara Lindeman and Jared Raab.
  • Tamara Lindeman said of the song, “I wrote 'Neon Signs' at a moment of feeling confused, upside down, at that moment when even desire falls away, and dissociation cuts you loose from a story that while wrong, still held things together.”

    She continued, “The song came with multiple strands entwined; the way that something that is not true seems to have more energetic intensity than something that is, the confusion of being bombarded with advertising at a moment of climate emergency, the confusion of relationships where coercion is wrapped in the language of love. Ultimately though, isn't it all the same feeling?”


  • Tamara Lindeman shared on social media, “Humanhood is a word that describes the state and condition of being human. In some more playful way, maybe it too describes a garment, something one might wear, but yet can never take off. It's a word that opens up so many thoughts for me in this time when the very state of being human feels so shifted, so uncertain, amid the attempt to invent AI, amid climate collapse. Amid my own personal journey that led to this record, a time when I felt cut off from my own personhood. This is a personal record, a concept record, a 45 minute piece of music that transcribes a journey from dissociation back out to connection. A record with textures that feel so physical to me, a record where form and sound and feeling all aligned, a record that was a long and winding labour of love. I'm so proud of it and so grateful to finally begin to release it.”
