History

Tamara Lindeman was born in Ontario in 1984. She started in acting before forming her band.\n

The band's debut album The Line was released in 2009. Their second album, All of It Was Mine, made in collaboration with Daniel Romano, was released in 2011.\n

Lindeman was a nominee for the 2013 SOCAN Songwriting Prize for The Weather Station's song \"Mule in the Flowers\", co-written with Steve Lambke.\n

The band's third album, Loyalty, was recorded at La Frette studios near Paris, France, with Afie Jurvanen and Robbie Lackritz, who have worked on albums with Bahamas, Feist, Zeus, and Jason Collett. Loyalty was released on May 5, 2015, on Paradise of Bachelors (U.S. and worldwide) and Outside Music (Canada).\n

The self-titled fourth studio album was released in October 2017, on the Paradise of Bachelors (U.S. and worldwide) and Outside Music (Canada). The 11 tracks are purest indie folk. On October 18, 2018, Live At Union was released independently as a limited edition available on Bandcamp.\n

The band's fifth album Ignorance was released worldwide on Fat Possum Records on February 5, 2021, and a small part (digital or vinyl only) on Next Door Records in Canada. The ten tracks were recorded with two percussionists, a saxophonist and a flutist, plus bass, keys, and guitar. Songwriter Tamara Lindeman wrote and produced all the songs. The album's theme is based on Lindeman's contemplation of the global climate crisis. Lindeman explained the album's title in an NPR interview as being \"about this process of moving through denial into understanding\". It was shortlisted for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize and nominated for a 2022 Juno Award.\n

On March 4, 2022, the band released their sixth album, How Is It That I Should Look at the Stars, also through Fat Possum. The album consists of ten songs written simultaneously with those on Ignorance but deemed too dissimilar to be included on that album; Lindeman called the album \"the moon to Ignorance's sun\". The album was recorded in March 2020 in Toronto. It was nominated for a 2023 Juno Award. \n

The Weather Station's seventh album, Humanhood, was released everywhere on January 17, 2025. The album was longlisted for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize, and was a Juno Award nominee for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2026.\n
