The Weather Station Announces New Album Humanhood, Shares Video for New Song: Watch
“Neon Signs” leads Tamara Lindeman’s follow-up to Ignorance and How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars
By Walden Green
The Weather Station has announced a new album. Humanhood is the follow-up to 2021’s Ignorance and its companion, 2022’s How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars. It releases January 17 via Fat Possum, with lead single “Neon Signs” out today. Watch the video for the new song below.
“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,” Weather Station mastermind Tamara Lindeman said in a press release. “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?”
Lindeman co-produced Humanhood with Marcus Paquin, and is joined, on the record, by Kieran Adams, Ben Boye, Philippe Melanson, Karen Ng, Ben Whiteley, Sam Amidon, James Elkington, and Joseph Shabason. The Weather Station will tour Europe and the United Kingdom in early 2025; see those dates below.
