Ignorance suggests a new way to see the world, asking only that you release yourself to wildness and feeling, to the unanswerable questions and the world beyond yourself. It’s all there — in the shifting clouds and the upward spiral of birds, in the opening flowers and the weeds that overtake them — just waiting to be found” – Exclaim!
It’s been a remarkable year for The Weather Station. Ignorance is one of 2021’s most beloved albums, earning Tamara Lindeman a Polaris Music Prize Short-List nomination, a gorgeous Tiny Desk (At Home) Concert, and her US television debut on CBS This Morning: Saturday. Today, she continues to celebrate, announcing the two volume, double LP Ignorance (Deluxe), out digitally today and physically on November 19 via Next Door Records. Ignorance (Deluxe) features the original tracklist, live and piano versions of select songs, plus two never before released tracks, including “Look” and today’s “Better Now”. Lindeman comments, “I wrote ‘Better Now’ in Banff, Alberta, in stolen moments as I was teaching songwriting and writing for myself. It’s all just true; the mountains, the piano, the first line, the pain of being hurt and the joy of being alright anyways.”
Lindeman further explains the idea behind Ignorance (Deluxe): “Whenever you make anything, you have to leave things out; it’s a critical part of the process, but a painful one nonetheless. I’m glad to have the opportunity to revisit the paths not taken, and allow some of them out after all; quiet versions of songs that were redirected into rhythm, two of the songs we recorded but left off the album, and some live versions of the songs that have come to be since the recording. It has been overwhelming to have this album be so lovingly received, and it is wonderful to have the space to release more of it into the world.”
Ignorance (Deluxe) will arrive when Lindeman is in the midst of the Canadian leg of her tour. In spring 2022, she will play across the United States before heading to Europe. Tickets are on sale now and a full list of dates can be found below.
