The CBC Radio One station in Toronto has been playing "Neon Lights" by The Weather Station for a while now, and I today heard that their new album, Humanhood, is out. So that's this week's musical treat, and a fine album it is.
I know very little about the band other than that they're Canadian, they've been around since 2006, and have released half a dozen albums. In a review of their earlier album, All of It Was Mine (You've Changed), the Toronto Star has this to say.
Young Canadian songwriter Tamara Lindeman has a magical way of turning down your lights, pulling shut the drapes, pouring you something tall and chilled, lighting some candles, then letting you know that, whatever your cares and tribulations, everything is going to be all right. I guess you could call this shoegazer roots, if there is such a genre.
It still fits for this album. I don't know about "shoegazer roots", but I like Humanhood a lot, and I hope you will too.
