In making the upcoming Weather Station album, Tamara Lindemann had a desire to make a rock and roll record, albeit one that, according to her, “… sounded how I wanted it to sound, which of course is nothing like rock and roll.”
That’s true to an extent, but I’d argue that lead single “Thirty” sounds at least something like rock and roll, especially in the second half of the song as the pace picks up slightly and the electric guitars take over for a bit. It still sounds essentially like The Weather Station though, with Lindemann’s storytelling at the forefront in this “song about joy at the precipice of despair.”
The Weather Station’s self titled album is out October 6th via Outside Music.
