“Most of us are dealing with some kind of pain—at times it feels easier to hide away and sedate yourself in some way,” says vocalist Floris van Luijtelaar. “Away from the hurt, but before you know it all the other feelings might be gone, too. In my experience, you need to feel the bad in order to be able to see the road to the good again. We as The Vices needed to go down that path.”

Did you know WNRN emails a free song download to our Members each week? This week, The Weather Station's "Neon Signs" is our Free Weekly Download at https://wnrn.org/free-weekly-download-redeem-your-track/

Toronto-based artist Tamara Lindeman makes music as The Weather Station, and the new LP, Humanhood, will release on January 17.

“I wrote ‘Neon Signs’ at a moment of feeling confused, upside down, at that moment when even desire falls away, and dissociation cuts you loose from a story that while wrong, still held things together,” says Tamara Lindeman.
