We were won over by ‘Way It Is, Way It Could Be’ and ‘Shy Woman’, the first wonderful singles from The Weather Station‘s upcoming third album Loyalty. The album will see the light of day on May 12th via Paradise of Bachelors in the US and Europe and via Outside Music in Canada. Ahead of it, Tamara Lindeman, is enticing us further with a new cut, the gorgeous and silky ‘Tapes’. Wrap your ears around it.

Whilst we impatiently wait for The Weather Station‘s third album to arrive, the project’s mastermind Tamara Lindeman is enticing us further with ‘Shy Woman’, another new utterly beautiful track taken from Loyalty. Listen to it below and make sure you grab the album when it drops on May 12th via Paradise of Bachelors in the US and Europe and via Outside Music in Canada.

The Weather Station, the project of Toronto based singer/songwriter, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist Tamara Lindeman, has confirmed the release of her third album, Loyalty. Slated for a May 12th release via Paradise of Bachelors in the US and Europe and via Outside Music in Canada, the album was recorded at La Frette Studios near Paris, with Afie Jurvanen aka Bahamas and Robbie Lackritz (Feist).
On Loyalty, Lindeman played guitar, banjo, keys, and vibes, and as the press release reminds us, she “has always been a songwriter’s songwriter, recognized for her intricate, carefully worded verse, filled with double meanings, ambiguities, and complex metaphors”. It adds that “lyrically, Loyalty inverts and involutes the language of confession, of regret, of our most private and muddled mental feelings, by externalizing those anxieties through exquisite observation of the things and people we accumulate, the modest meanings accreted during even our most ostensibly mundane domestic moments.”

The delicate and intricate ‘Way It Is, Way It Could Be’ is the first single to be lifted from Loyalty and it serves as a magnificent taste.
