The Weather Station is Lindeman's loosest, most confident album yet, but it may also prove to be her most deeply psychological; she doesn't hold back.
A forward-facing photo in stark black and white, The Weather Station serves as a portrait of the artist as an independent woman—visually and musically.
In a musical era overwhelmed by vocal trickery and other sonic wizardry, the simplicity of an unadorned voice – with all the power and beauty one like Lindeman’s can possess – is a marvel in itself. She’s using it to tell deeply personal stories that hold a mirror up to our own experiences, and that’s what makes The Weather Station her most compelling work yet.
The Weather Station is a model example of expanding an act’s sound without losing sight of what made them great to begin with.
The Weather Station inhabits the intersection of personal and polished like few albums can.
