The Weather Station (Tamara Lindeman)

it reminds me of most is Aerial -- tonally, melodically, lyrically.

I see that. I hear Spirit Of Eden more.

I'm of the minority opinion that her previous stuff was better

I had a conversation with a friend (and a friend of the band) a couple days ago who good-naturedly expressed the same feeling, an appreciation for the new one but a preference for the previous, so you're not alone!

yeah my fave is Loyalty (2015) by a mile

love it all though and will listen to anything she writes

"Tried to Tell You - Piano Version"

https://theweatherstation.bandcamp.com/album/deluxe-edition-of-ignorance

deluxe edition with some live cuts, solo piano versions, & most importantly two outtakes

The slightly dissonant keyboard flourishes on last track "Look" makes me suspect that Ryan Driver is playing on that track--am a sucker for how Tamara makes use of Kieran Adams' breakbeat drum style, so that track's nicely jumping out at me at first flip-through

Great album, but I hate when we get "deluxe versions" of an album 7-8 months after the original release.

100% agree. Jessie Ware doing this for her last few, when I've bought cds on original release, has been frustrating. Prefer what beabadoobee did, releasing the Our Extended Play EP to follow her last album.

Seems a bit weird in the streaming age... I mean, the deluxe version will supposedly be available for "free" on Spotify?

At least that was the case with Waxahatchee

new album out tomorrow! 'how is it that i should look at the stars'

wow a whole album so soon, awesome

guess it's more sparse, but sounds great on first listen

think it was written/recorded around the same time as ignorance, just it's a set of much more stripped down material
