It’s Lindeman’s fifth album as The Weather Station and her most polished record to date. Ignorance follows The Weather Station’s self-titled fourth album (2017), which built on the folk and Americana sounds of Lindeman’s earlier releases with full band arrangements that were, at times, genuinely rocking. Ignorance contains more stylistic depth than any previous The Weather Station album. The folky influences aren’t absent, but the album incorporates pop melody, disco rhythms and layered percussion. Lindeman wrote the album on keyboard, not guitar, and piano is at the centre of many of the songs. She’s backed by a band that includes not just drums, bass and guitar but also saxophone, flute and strings.
