   About the weather station
OUR NEW ALBUM IS NOW OUT!

Drop into your local record store, and if they don't have it, ask them to order it for you from Fontana. Or if you're of the internet inclination, head on over to zunior.com, itunes, or other web purveyors of songdom to download.

"More than one blogger has compared this almost frighteningly intense song cycle by Toronto's Tamara Lindeman to Bon Iver's woodsy rumination on love lost, For Emma, Forever Ago. The more important similarity lies in an incongruity: the ability to transmute the impenetrably personal details of a singular experience into something instinctively universal. Brace yourselves." - The Toronto Star

"The Weather Station's music is achingly on point and has the capacity to leave you, jaw agape, wondering what just happened. As elemental a performance as the name of the band suggests." - Ottawa Express

"Like a Nova Scotian 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'" - Beatroute

"...she never loses the intimacy and power of her songs, as each emotion is ripe with clarity. Patience and maturity have usurped the freedom of singing simply to get things off her chest. From start to finish, The Line is the result of Tamara taking the time to really think about what she wants to say and how she wants it to be heard. Even the songs that have been carried over from her EP sound wiser, warmer and still somehow wearier, even though in most cases the changes are very minor. Regardless, her voice and arrangements might give us the glimmer of hope she can't seem to find." - Herohill

"With hypnotic arrangements and Lindeman’s haunting yet vulnerable dark folk melodies The Line showcases a serious talent emerging. It is an emotionally honest and frank collection of songs that deal openly with grief, anger, loss and regret, providing an intense listening experience that may well leave those that hear it with a prevailing sense of unease. The knowledge that it was only her loss that made her pick up an instrument and begin to play makes the accomplished nature of the record all the more remarkable. While It may not be the most uplifting debut record you hear this year, it will certainly be one of the best. 88%" - The Line of Best Fit (UK)

Tamara and co,

I wanted to send you all a message of gratitude. Tamara, you have such a brilliant vision, and you guys were seriously one of my favourite bands on our tour. Also, I've been listening to your CD religiously since I got back: my God, it's just brilliant (you have another don't you, because I need it!). Your lyrics are just perfect: what a beautiful mind and heart you have. I really do hope we get to play with you guys again one day. My heart felt wishes to you, and may The Weather Station flourish and wash down its beauty on us all.

much love,

Adam
