The Weather Station has released a new single called ‘Atlantic’. The track is taken from Tamara Lindeman’s upcoming album Ignorance and arrives with a self-directed music video. Watch it below.
“Trying to capture something of the slipping feeling I think we all feel, the feeling of dread, even in beautiful moments, even when you’re a little drunk on a sea cliff watching the sun go down while seabirds fly around you; that slipping feeling is still there, that feeling of dread, of knowing that everything you see is in peril,” Tamara Lindeman explained in a statement. “I feel like I spend half my life working on trying to stay positive. My whole generation does. But if you spend any time at all reading about the climate situation circa now, positivity and lightness are not fully available to you anymore; you have to find new ways to exist and to see, even just to watch the sunset.”
She added: “I tried to make the band just go crazy on this one, and they did. This is one where the music really makes me see the place in my mind; the flute and the guitar chasing each other, wheeling around like birds, the drums cliff like in their straightness; I love the band on this one.”
Ignorance, Lindeman’s fifth studio album as the Weather Station, is due out February 5 via Fat Possum. It includes the previously released singles ‘Robber’ and ‘Tried to Tell You’.
