PO: The Weather Station - Loyalty (FFO: Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling)

[Sidney Crosley]

I don't know if there are any fans of Toronto folk artist/band The Weather Station (mostly a project for Tamara Lindemann), but their new album Loyalty comes out in May 2015, with a preorder here:

She has a truly amazing voice, and her songs show a lot of influence from Joni Mitchell, without trying to simply replicate Mitchell's sound. Tamara used to be a member of Bruce Peninsula (one of my favourite local bands for a long time), as well as a performer on Daniel Romano, Baby Eagle, and other local projects. She released a 6-song EP last fall that was quite beautiful and sparse, and so I'm excited to see what this will sound like.

Huge fan of this girl, can't wait for the new LP.  Her last EP was GORGEOUS.

 

Also I'm pretty sure she's still part of Bruce Peninsula, the band's just on hiatus (again).

 

EDIT: new track!

Great track. I'm very excited about this one. She is so talented but in the most quiet, subtle way.

I know that Bruce Peninsula still play a few shows here and there, but not as regularly as in their heyday. For a while they were my wife and my favourite band to see live - so much fun!

Last summer I went to see Basia Bulat at Massey Hall and I saw Tamara come on stage and I was so excited - I had hoped that she would be singing/playing, but alas she was apparently Basia's guitar tech. Here's hoping this album gets her big enough she gets to have her own guitar tech!
