The Weather Station - "Mirror"

Photo by Brendan George Ko

No one quite makes music like The Weather Station, the musical project of Tamara Lindeman. Her latest single, "Mirror," has a singer-songwriter goes slightly dance music with some jazz influences. There's a lot going on in this song, but it's still a laid back and incredibly captivating song. It's the type of song that could almost be used as background music but will soon demand all of your attention and focus. The more attention you pay to "Mirror," the more it will reward you. The Weather Station wanders right up to the edge of the mainstream here, but decides it's more fun and interesting not to cross the line. This one is reminding me of Tori Amos' late 90's releases.

Tamara Lindeman says of her latest single:

“I wanted the song to warp and disintegrate; to come in and out of being like the imaginary scaffold that holds up a fantasy or cognitive dissonance. In the end, the band grows garbled and comes apart, giving way to a suspension of synth and string textures. I wanted it to feel like being bathed in light; maybe the light I was talking about in the song.”
