Ignorance (studio album) by The Weather Station

An album that it is as gorgeous as it is misanthropic. Could be a full-on masterpiece if a track or two amped up the intensity a little, but as it is, Ignorance is a stellar record.

Tamara Lindeman AKA The Weather Station releases another gorgeous album that continues her development and trajectory towards stardom

The songs don't hook me as much as they should, but the excellent instrumentation does keep me invested.

One of the more pleasant surprises of the year so far. This is the kind of pop music that is to be expected in 2021, melodic, catchy, yet challenging and intriguing.

So tepid. It just does nothing for me. The vocals are thin, the instrumentation never seems to get out of 1st gear. Not for me I'm afraid

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

I fell for this album instantly, "Robber" is a excellent opener. I haven't heard anything else by this band, but so far I'm quite impressed with this release, it's consistently great and the production is blissful.

(Pristine sophisti-pop album with incredibly dynamic production, slick and sexy saxophone, and that sweet and unassuming vocal work from Tamara Lindeman.)

This is just a fabulously executed and gorgeous album. Every drum beat and horn and line and detail is so pristinely recorded and intentional and exact. It shines as a nocturnal, sexy, dramatic sophisti-pop and Art Pop album. The songs are consistently just these thought out, precise and complete works. And, while I haven't yet delved into the lyrics, the bits I hear are beautifully written.

The voals are good, if not at all the focus here. They are simple and effective and they work well with the detailed sax and drum and other aspects.

I don't have much else to say. This is just really solid.
