The Weather Station has a new album on the way: Humanhood is out January 17 via Fat Possum. It follows 2021’s Ignorance and its 2022 companion, How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Neon Signs’, which is accompanied by a video co-directed by bandleader Tamara Lindeman and Jared Raab. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
Discussing ‘Neon Signs’, Lindeman said in a statement: “The song came with multiple strands entwined; the way that something that is not true seems to have more energetic intensity than something that is, the confusion of being bombarded with advertising at a moment of climate emergency, the confusion of relationships where coercion is wrapped in the language of love. Ultimately though, isn’t it all the same feeling?”
The new album was recorded over two sessions in the fall of 2023 at Canterbury Music Company with drummer Kieran Adams, keyboardist Ben Boye, percussionist Philippe Melanson, improviser Karen Ng, and bassist Ben Whiteley. Lindeman co-produced it with Marcus Paquin, and it features contributions from Sam Amidon, James Elkington, and Joseph Shabason.
Earlier this year, the Weather Station contributed to the soundtrack for Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow.
