" On Ignorance, the Weather Station’s dazzling fifth album, Lindeman arrives.” - Pitchfork “Songs sometimes come with multiple strands entwined. I tend to think I need to find a way to pull them apart, but often I’m wrong. Isn’t it all the same feeling? To walk down the street in a heatwave, bombarded by sales pitches, pithy slogans - to be in relationship where coercion is wrapped in the language of love - to navigate through a politics awash in wave after wave of misinformation. It all felt bound up - what if a lie is more powerful precisely because it is not true? What if desire is the currency when trust falls apart; when there’s nothing more nourishing to rely on? How to make sense of the cognitive dissonance of luxury and consumption amid a climate disaster? I wrote at a moment of feeling confused, upside down, at that moment when even desire falls away, and dissociation cuts you loose from a story that while wrong, still held things together. I imagined the song moving like the street does; a strong forward motion, and then finally falling away at the end, and the band did just that.”
