How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars [Colored Vinyl, Indie Exclusive]

The Weather Station have a new record of songs recorded following their critically acclaimed "Ignorance" release. It was recorded during the Covid quarantine of 2020-2021. How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is an introspective record of songs which were written alongside those that appeared on Ignorance. It is intended not to be a follow up, but to be a companion piece, a piece of reflection and quiet, meant to hold stillness in the aftermath. It was recorded live, as a performance; an improvisation, with a group of Toronto jazz musicians. I imagined it as a record of ballads; simple, pure, almost naive, but speaking to many of the same realities as Ignorance does. I see the two albums as two halves of the same coin; the moon and sun, a photograph and a photonegative.
