The Weather Station: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | July 20, 2021
There's a desk and a band playing songs filled with nature's imagery somewhere in the woods of Mulmur in Southern Ontario, Canada. It's the perfect setting for The Weather Station. Outdoor locations are familiar to anyone who's seen recent videos for "Robber," "Parking Lot," "Tried to Tell You" and "Atlantic," all songs from the band's fourth album, Ignorance, and all songs performed here for its Tiny Desk (home) concert. Songwriter and singer Tamara Lindeman told NPR Music's Marissa Lorusso of her deep feelings on the climate crisis: "I just basically fell down the rabbit hole that happens to you when you take in the full reality of what it means, and what two degrees [of warming] means and how far over the cliff we already are." And so the songs for this Tiny Desk (home) concert are filled with imagery of nature and our relationship with our planet.
With images of a blood-red sunset in the song "Atlantic" and the lines "Thinking I should get all this dying off of my mind / I should really know better than to read the headlines / Does it matter if I see it? / No, really, can I not just cover my eyes?," Tamara writes about her passion for the earth and its future, but the tunes are calming and thoughtful, not doctrines or lectures. This big band with two drummers, two guitars, keyboards and a sax seems at home in the great outdoors. I, however, look forward to seeing them in a club again when their tour begins in September.

One of the best feelings in the world: the first time you hear a band you did not know, that becomes an immediate favorite. Tears in my eyes.

That's great! Her album "Loyalty" was probably my favorite of 2015. Like other great artists, Tamara has developed with each album while being true to her voice. She's a lovely lyricist. I was excited when I saw this in my feed - the new album is one of my favorites of this years' - but still only got to watch it now. There are so much good music!

@@Ethyl.breaks These are musicians who played on her fifth album (there were more on the recordings). I think couple of these played on her previous album and fewer than that on the album before that. Plenty of solo artists form band for different projects and tours (but there tend to be a core)
I cannot describe how well put-together they are as a band. Their performance sounds like it was recorded in a studio not in somewhere in the woods. Tamara’s sensual breezy voice always gives me a good deal of chill and leaves me in awe.
The piano guy is feeling the vibe on a whole new level.

Ignorance is one of the best albums of this year and this tiny desk is brilliant. Thanks much for the beautiful performance!
Atlantic is my song of the year by far
Tamara/The Weather Station are straight up amazing.
Just got home from driving in the rain, which got heavier when I lay my back on the bed. Open YT up to see a new TDC video of an artist I didnt know, whose music somehow fit the current weather perfectly. This feels better than winning the lottery.

Ignorance is bliss. Thats why i got it.
Who gives magic like this a 'thumbs down'? Beautiful words, music, visual setting....love it
Tamara's voice is simply magical! 3:45 The enchanting moment of 'Parking Lot'! I just love the vibes of the band and her music world. Thank you so much for this beautiful performance!
This is like a warm bath stepping back in. I knew them from a KEXP-session. Those first 2 songs always remind me of Fleetwood Mac.
This is great music ! My foot is taping Her voice tells a story like some wise Wonderfull beautiful woman And the music just pushes it along Perfectly.

It is almost unbelievable that they can make this recording in Gods free nature with this super sound quality. "In the woods today". But yes, this is a suitable environment concerning the message in Tamara Lindemans songs. I just love this music.

I already knew The Weather Station and love them but ANY band that plays from the woods is my kind of band. I can't think of a better setting for beautiful music than the beauty of the natural world! Unrelated, but hoping to see Loma on Tiny Desk one day (pretty please... no idea how to request).
Espectacular. Muy genia la piba. La banda la gasta toda. Entendieron todo.
I love how every time the camera pans right that girl has a different instrument XD
The xtra drummer must be the best friend that can't REALLY play any instruments but he's just so great to be around 😆
Best album of the year. Amazing talent. This is wonderful ❤
I love this band so much.
the band is super groovy !!! dope and on point Grüße aus Heidelberg
Please we need 1 more session with - Loss, Separated, Heart & Subdivisions 💕
Parking Lot hits different. My favorite song from the album
Smooth beautiful voice and great music , 😘💓🙏
Wow very viby and lovely modern but soulful sound - again big thanks for tiny desk bringing up always the best what the music world has to offer 💐 🌷 🌹
Thank you npr, for showcasing this delightful band!💖👍
The ending to Parking Lot is pretty great :)
So much Talk Talk inspired goodness.
Que buen espacio para disfrutarlos!
this is pure art
Sempre me espanto com a qualidade sonora que vejo por aqui!!! sem falar dos artistas
In the future I hope this will be a legendary recording, when we all can say: "Yes, I was there, at least I saw it on KZread."

Masterclass
I like it!
this band!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the livestream concert a few months ago, but it had very different camerawork (darker framing, more intimate close-ups). This is an excellent counterpoint. Really enjoyed the side-scrolling tableau. Come back to Louisville!
Noticing the damp or moisture rich environment, make sure all electrical gear is properly grounded. Safety first. Me and the cat found you all most entertaining thanx.
HAPPY FOR THIS! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN TO TWS and IGNORANCE
It's the setting for me
This is so fucken sweet, I love this
I desperately want to run into the woods with arms wide and join them

Lovely performance by a great artist! But why oh why NPR did you decide to upload with black bars? It was obviously shot in a wide aspect ratio and as such it feels a shame not to be able to experience this beautiful video in its full glory...
