The Weather Station originally released their album Loyalty on May 12, 2015 on the Outside Music label. Loyalty wrestles with knotty notions of faithfulness and faithlessness to our idealism, our constructs of character, our memories, and to our family, friends, and lovers representing a bold step forward into new sonic and psychological inscapes. It's a natural progression for Tamara Lindeman's acclaimed songwriting practice.
Loyalty brings a freshly unflinching self-examining gaze and emotional and musical control to The Weather Station's songs. Sonically, the record is a quietly radical statement, with certain passages achieving an eerie harmonic and rhythmic tension new to The Weather Station. An extraordinary singer and instrumentalist on Loyalty she plays guitar, banjo, keys, and vibes but Lindeman has always been a songwriter's songwriter, recognized for her intricate, carefully worded verse, filled with double meanings, ambiguities, and complex metaphors.
Loyalty was recorded with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist) at La Frette Studios outside of Paris, France.
"Timeless. Recalls the vignettes of another Canadian folk divinity [Joni Mitchell.] But the measured, perceptive storytelling at hand is purely Lindeman’s, singular in both its quiet clarity and compelling relatability." - Pitchfork
