The two songs were originally recorded during the sessions for Tamara Lindeman’s seventh The Weather Station album, “Humanhood”. “There were so many strong songs I left off “Humanhood” because the album had such a narrative arc to adhere to, “Lindeman says. “‘Airport’ was one of them that I’m glad to release now. I’ve always hated airports; I find them so dehumanizing. This song tells a story of a person trying to mirror what is around them; that sort of shutting down, not caring, acting like you don’t care even when you really do. At the heart of it though is, of course, an intense longing, and a hope for something alive that feels like it can’t be.”
Lindeman describes “Only The Truth” as “one of my favourite songs from “Humanhood” and just didn’t make the final track-list at the very last moment, but it feels so relevant and connected with the record. It intersects with ‘Neon Signs,’ it expands on the same idea; that the truth is this sort of lumpen, complicated, organic thing. Falsehoods and lies glimmer, reach towards you, need you; but the truth ‘doesn’t care if you care / all it ever is is there.’”
Meanwhile, the Weather Station’s European and UK tour begins on November 1st. It includes multiple festival appearances, a co-headline date with Destroyer, and a London Jazz Festival performance in which the band will be accompanied by a string quartet.
