The album is intended to be heard as a companion piece to \u003ci\u003eIgnorance\u003c\/i\u003e; songs written at the same time that connect thematically and emotionally, songs that reveal the vulnerability at the heart of the body of work. Recorded live in just three days,\u003ci\u003e How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars\u003c\/i\u003e is achingly intimate; full of breath, silence, and detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Is It That I Should Look At The Stars\u003c\/i\u003e was written in the same fruitful winter of songwriting that gave rise to \u003ci\u003eIgnorance\u003c\/i\u003e, but were songs that Lindeman felt were too internal, too soft to fit on the album she had envisioned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot long after completing Ignorance, Lindeman decided to make this album on her own terms, fronting the money herself and not notifying the labels. She assembled a new band, and communicated a new ethos; the music should feel ungrounded, with space, silence, and sensitivity above all else. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn this record, there are no drums, no percussion; in the absence of rhythm, time stretches and becomes elastic. Lyrically, many of the songs return to what has often been a hallmark of Lindeman’s writing; a description of a single moment and all the meaning it might encompass. And this dilation of the moment occurs musically too; as the band moves through music so ephemeral it often incorporates stretches of near silence, and breaths, single notes, and brief solos take on greater importance in the absence of other sound. Whereas the recordings on Ignorance leaned towards ambition and grandeur, here the band reaches towards a different goal; grace perhaps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Is It That I Should Look At The Stars\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded from March 10 - 12, 2020. When the band entered the studio, Covid-19 was a news item, not front of mind, but by the time they left, just three days later, everything had changed. Somehow, the music captures that instability; it is ungrounded and diaphanous, it floats and drifts. It is an album of immense sensitivity, a recording of a band and a person daring to reach towards softness without apology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fat Possum","offers":[{"title":"Gold | LP","offer_id":50411499520331,"sku":"1141413","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50411497718091,"sku":"1141416","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50411498307915,"sku":"1141417","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e7060747-77f7-4425-bae4-006158b5192a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726659141"},{"product_id":"ignorance-1","title":"Ignorance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Weather Station - project of Tamara Lindeman - releases her new album, \u003ci\u003eIgnorance\u003c\/i\u003e, on Fat Possum. Through\u003ci\u003e Ignorance\u003c\/i\u003e, Lindeman has remade what The Weather Station sounds like, using the occasion of a new record to create a novel sonic landscape, tailor-made to express an emotional idea.
