▌░ ░▐
▌░ Ignorance, the new album by the The Weather Station, begins ░▐
▌░ enigmatically; a hissing hi hat, a stuttering drum beat. A ░▐
▌░ full minute passes before the entry of Tamara LindemanÆs ░▐
▌░ voice, gentle, conversational, intoning; ôI never believed in ░▐
▌░ the robberö. A jagged music builds, with stabbing strings, ░▐
▌░ saxophone, and several layers of percussion, and the song ░▐
▌░ undulates through five minutes of growing tension, seesawing ░▐
▌░ between just two chords. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Once again, Toronto songwriter Tamara Lindeman has remade ░▐
▌░ what The Weather Station sounds like; once again, she has ░▐
▌░ used the occasion of a new record to create a new sonic ░▐
▌░ landscape, tailor-made to express an emotional idea. ░▐
▌░ Ignorance, LindemanÆs debut for Mississippi label Fat Possum ░▐
▌░ Records, is sensuous, ravishing, as hi fi a record as ░▐
▌░ Lindeman has ever made, breaking into pure pop at moments, at ░▐
▌░ others a dense wilderness of notes; a deeply rhythmic, deeply ░▐
▌░ painful record that feels more urgent, more clear than her ░▐
▌░ work ever has. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ On the cover, Lindeman lays in the woods, wearing a hand made ░▐
▌░ suit covered in mirrors. She was struck by the compulsion to ░▐
▌░ build a mirror suit on tour one summer, assembling it in a ░▐
▌░ hotel room in PEI and at a friendÆs place in Halifax. ôI used ░▐
▌░ to be an actor, now IÆm a performerö she says. In those ░▐
▌░ roles, she points out, she often finds herself to be the ░▐
▌░ subject of projection, reflecting back the ideas and emotions ░▐
▌░ of others. On the album, she sings of trying to wear the ░▐
▌░ world as a kind of ill fitting, torn garment, dangerously ░▐
▌░ cold; ôit does not keep me warm / I cannot ever seem to ░▐
▌░ fasten itö and of walking the streets in it, so disguised, so ░▐
▌░ exposed. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Photographed by visual artist Jeff Bierk in midday, the cover ░▐
▌░ purposefully calls to mind Renaissance paintings; with rich ░▐
▌░ blacks and deep colour, and an incongruous blue sky glimpsed ░▐
▌░ through the trees. The title of the album, Ignorance, feels ░▐
▌░ confrontational, calling to mind perhaps wilful ignorance, ░▐
▌░ but Lindeman insists she meant it in a different context. In ░▐
▌░ 1915 Virginia Woolfe wrote: ôthe future is dark, which is the ░▐
▌░ best thing a future can be, I think.ö Written amidst the ░▐
▌░ brutal first world war, the darkness of the future connoted ░▐
▌░ for Woolfe a not knowing, which by definition holds a sliver ░▐
▌░ of hope; the possibility for something, somewhere, to change. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ In french, the verb ignorer connotes a humble, unashamed not ░▐
▌░ knowing, and it is this ignorance Lindeman refers to here; ░▐
▌░ the blank space at an intersection of hope and despair, a ░▐
▌░ darkness that does not have to be dark. ░▐
