- Jan. 8, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- The Weather Station's fourth (and self-titled) album was a constant companion for me in 2017, in no small part for the song that opens the band's Tiny Desk performance. It's called "Thirty" and in less than four minutes and nearly 400 words, singer Tamara Lindeman paints images of joy intertwined with the awaking jolt of turning thirty.
The dollar was down
But my friends opened businesses
There were new children
And again, I didn't get married
I wasn't close to my family
And my dad was raising a child in Nairobi
She was three now, he told me
The musicians in The Weather Station underpin these words with delicate playing and by sitting quietly but poigntantly under Tamara Lindeman's beautiful voice. Her soft voice shifts pitch with a rapid flow in a Joni Mitchell-sort of way, never coming up in volume more than a quiet, table conversation level.
On "Free," a song Tamara Lindeman describes as about being both free and not free at the same time, there's restraint in the voice and a release in the powerful guitar chords. That tension and release is an essential element to The Weather Station's sound and one of the joys I've found listening to their enchanting music.
Set List
"Thirty"
"You and I (On the Other Side of the World)"

This IS the best drum version I've heard. This is what the drummer should do when she plays it in concert.
Never heard them before. She has such a beautiful voice. Love the Silvertone too.
that lyric - 'gas came down, from a buck twenty'..... gorgeous!! Tom Waits is jealous. Deep bows for the writing.
Joni is Joni, and nobody else is Joni, but nobody makes songs with the lyrical complexity and depth right now as Tams.
I can't tell what's more beautiful, Tamara's voice or her Silvertone
The Weather Station is just one of the many bands that makes me proud to be Canadian! You can really hear home in this band
Y'all don't need to come live in the US anymore. That is good.

Wow finally found her i remember being a kid growing up in canada watching guinevere jones on tv and cant find episodes anywhere glad to see tamaras doin well :)
nice vibes of Joni Mitchell from her!
Joe Murray yes, I get that vibe too!!
Joe Murray I was just gonna post the same thing. Very similar
Yes exactly!
I just saw them in concert and they are just as amazing, if not better.
Never seen so much hate in these comments for a drummer that's doing nothing but holdin it down
That kid is a monster. Her entire band is unreal. So tight.
so much hate? lmao some people love to exaggerate.
Fun Fact! The bassist and drummer, Ben Whiteley and Ian Kehow respectively, have actually been on Tiny Desk before with Julia Jacklin back in 2017, in fact, Ben is playing literally the same bass in both videos!
An excellent poet and musician combo.💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
Honestly speaking, this band is very cool. all these mainstream pop music requests need to stop. NPR has a knack for finding special yet underrated talent. These comments are confusing.
but i agree, bring Hiatus kaiyote on here!
Tiny desk is so brilliant, the quality of the sound and the quality of the acts is always superb. So, to realise that The Weather Station, a band I only discovered a few weeks, are on here, has made my day. There is a Midlake, other worldly feel about them, also Dire Straits and War On Drugs.
I personally see a lot of soul coming out of that drummer.
my favourite artist of 2017, so beautiful and cheering album
snoworder heard Loyalty?
yes, I like this one much more)
so beautiful
What a magical performance and beautiful songs! Receiving Laura Marling, This is the Kit and Joni Mitchell vibes... Drummer is fascinating too, saw him perform with Julia Jacklin. Hope they will come to Europe sometime soon!
Timeless sounds, the kinda music you just don't worn out of. Cary says keep makin more!
Love Tamara! Her previous album, Loyalty, was one of my favorites of that year and her latest is great too. I kept coming back to Loyalty. With some much new music (and new discoveries of old music) few albums get the repeated listenens they deserves. I think there was some nice strings on the new album.
Wow, shes great!
I will tell my friends about this artist. Great writer! Band sounds great too!
great voice & music ❤
0:00 Thirty
4:20 You and I (On the Other Side of the World)

NPRは私にとっては、新しい、素晴らしい曲の発掘現場。
ステキな曲
I can hear some Dire Straits and Jeff Buckley influence ! Also very soothing and sensual vocals, great discovery !
muy bueno saludos desde argentina buenos aires
She was at a festival in Toronto last year, she wasn't playing that day. Walked up to her and started talking. Very friendly woman.
Love it!!! Dream of playing my originals there one day
exceptionall voice,very nice group
chill stuff! good job Weather Station
Thanks, very nice👌🏼 Cheers from Sweden!
Soooooo good
Love this performance what a great chill band and the drummer is doing a great job so why the hate?
Great work everyone!
Must be up there as one of the best female vocalists of all time? Whole band oozes talent too.
awesome!!! saw you guys in sackville and now you're here on npr!
emanating Laura Marling along with some Mitchell
For real, I've played a bunch of those Silvertones, and never had one sound as nice as that one
I'm an RnB guy but I like this ..she's great..I mean they are great!
Heard you on CBC the other day. Sounding good, keep it up!!
good voice :)
I request Moonchild to be on Tiny Desk Concert.
Who else thought this said The Weather Report and thought the great Jaco Pastorious was raised from the dead for a tiny desk performance? Just me? Ok.
Nathan Tetzlaff I almost always have accidentially typed Report instead of Station when I have searched for them on say spotify
She sounds a lot like a fellow canadian that just happens to be the greatest songwriter ever.
Oddly she sound just like herself... I don't get anyone else just Hope and she's more than enough.
I’m waiting for my weather report and I still haven’t gotten it
Dark tonight and light tomorrow.
you beat me to it..
yayyyyy go tamara :)
Right on
When is Daniel Romano going to be on Tiny Desk??
tamara
Not a fan of the censorship, but it's still awesome.
She sounds just like Joni Mitchell...
looks like she uses open tunings like her too
@@Pearls_Have_Eyes I’m sure Joni Mitchell was a big inspiration for this woman’s music. Just glad there’s still music like this being made tbh.
Now that’s a wholesome woman
I was wondering why there was no ”advisory” in the beginning. Then I heard, as I thought, she changed ”I noticed fucking everything” to ”truly everything”.
When are you having me there NPR? haha jokes aside ! one day maybe I love the concept of this.
Her voice sounds like Jewel, but with more talent :-)
Trisha Smith I don’t know, jewel has incredible control and range. They are just different.
Gud stuff my dudes
Rainbow Kitten Surprise next..!
Love her, love them, beautiful music, Joni influence, but that’s great, and honourable. When are you coming to UK?
This is a bit like Fiona Apple but with an Americana vibe and without the balls. I like it.
Father John Misty please!
and now the weather...
6 years too late but I applied you for the nightvale comment
Reminds me of Yori Swart
GET HAIM PLEASE. THANKS
I never heard of you guys. I don`t believe in the concept of being a fan but consider me a great appreciator of your music from now on! I put you guys in my spotify list with nice mellow songs.
Klijnsmit Guitars a fan is a person who has an admiration for a particular person or thing. So...you’re a fan. Sorry to burst your obscure bubble.
Haha, I just don`t like how some people worship other people. I respect and admire people and their craft as equals! :D
Totally feelin the Joni vibes! Lovin the music. If you wanna hear some Canadian music check out our page.
FIRST COMMENT #NotVeryGoodButIAmStillProudBecasueIDontHaveMuchJoyInLife
Jorja Smith ~

Los GROWLERS. Plzzzzzz

Angela from The Office side gig?
Carmelo lol I was thinking just the same :'-D The band is great tho!
This lady is much hotter though...
Carmelo iiiii
Hey NPR, you guys did another Tiny Desk Concert with Julien Baker recently which was fantastic. It's on the site, but why hasn't it been uploaded to UA-cam?
Keith Dwyer I think that they allways post these on youtube few days later than on the website.
These songs are really drawing me in, I'd love to hear a more acoustic arrangement, like maybe with just guitar & cello or something. I especially wish that snare drum would ease up a bit, it's a tad overbearing.
fried potatoes she brought more stuff in with this album. Her previous are a bit more light, or...rootsy
paula cole vibes?
That's the freshest riff I've heard in quite some time there at the start of 'Thirty'.....Oh! and then that Tele tone! I'm liking this a lot. Any sharp muso able to identify that amp rear at 5:05 please?!
Garnet Session Man!
the drummer looks like Jonathan from Stranger Things
555
who’s in the band? look like folks from a julia jack lin’s band.
Where's Daniel Caesar ? Please !
If I was wearing the same top as the drummer. I would be that angry
💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
This drummer must be local? Think I've seen him on this a few times
Yeah, I know he toured with Andy Shauf, and I've seen him on some other tiny desk, but I can't think of which one
he's her boyfriend!
Ian Kehoe! Plays with a handful of Canadian groups. Go check out Attack in Black if you haven't already!!
Julia Jacklin's drummer as well!
Colin Weeks really? Otherwise sad story about her ex which she touched on her last album
joni mitchell vibes
Waiting for Daniel Caesar
Stepsister from planet weird
I notice 🤐 everything. 😖
You should get Twenty One Pilots to do some songs!
Her voice reminds me of some other singer
I bet the drummer is gonna get serious problems with his back pretty soon, haha lol
YES!
Post maloneeeee
I demand Devendra Banhart or more Jake Bugg
HURRAY!
Rex orange county please
Love this but why is Tamara dressed like she is going for a job interview
If so, I'd say "You're hired!" It is being professional. The old saying is you're better to be overdressed than underdressed. I'd rather see a band in nicer clothes than in ripped and crumpled outfits if it improves their image with their audiences.
She’s wearing a super classy vintage suit dress. It’s amazing. Maybe you just don’t get it.
0:48 da fuq?
well, at least he can keep a beat
lol
drummer is creepin' me out a little bit.
How?
Shuuuuuut it weirdo
Just recently discovered The Weather Station. LOVE the music and the art of the videos, but the lead singer... I feel her way of singing/voice ruins a lot of the songs. I understand she's the main creative one of all the songs, but imho they need a different lead vocal and the sound would be perfect. just my opinion and taste though. Would be cool to have instrumental only versions of all their songs.

Get your ears checked dude. Quick!

First of all, some of the vocals are deliberately done in an almost speaking voice. Second, human beings are not perfect.
Go listen to some rap or something less tonal.
that's sad
