The Weather Station, the musical project led by Toronto-based singer-songwriter Tamara Lindeman, has released two new songs titled “Airport” and “Only The Truth.” These tracks were recorded during sessions for the album Humanhood but were not included in the final album. The announcement comes as the band prepares to embark on an extensive tour across the UK and Europe starting November 1st, 2025.
Humanhood, released earlier in 2025 through Fat Possum Records, received widespread acclaim for its thoughtful songwriting and intricate narrative structure. Lindeman explained that many strong songs were left off the album to maintain a cohesive story arc. “Airport” is an uptempo track that explores themes of emotional detachment and longing, inspired by Lindeman’s personal feelings about airports. She describes airports as dehumanizing spaces where people often shut down emotionally, pretending not to care while deeply yearning for connection.
“Only The Truth,” described by Lindeman as one of her favorite songs from the Humanhood sessions, delves into the complex nature of truth. The song complements themes introduced in another track, “Neon Signs,” suggesting that truth is an organic and complicated force indifferent to human concern. In contrast to falsehoods that seek attention and validation, truth simply exists without needing approval or recognition.
The two new songs highlight The Weather Station’s ongoing engagement with weather-related storytelling and human experience. This thematic focus is reflected not only in their lyrics but also in the mood and atmosphere of their music, capturing emotional states akin to changing weather patterns.
The upcoming tour will include performances in major European cities such as Groningen, Oslo, Stockholm, Cologne, Barcelona, and London. A special show at London’s EartH Theatre on November 21st will feature a unique set accompanied by a string quartet as part of the London Jazz Festival. The tour also features collaborations with artists Juni Habel and Kevin Fowley, offering audiences a diverse musical experience.
Humanhood follows previous releases including Ignorance (2021) and How Is It That I Should Look At the Stars (2022). The album was co-produced by Lindeman and Marcus Paquin and features contributions from musicians such as Kieran Adams, Ben Boye, Philippe Melanson, Karen Ng, Ben Whiteley, Sam Amidon, James Elkington, and Joseph Shabason.
With the release of “Airport” and “Only The Truth,” The Weather Station continues to expand its repertoire of songs about human emotions intertwined with natural imagery. These tracks offer listeners a deeper look into Lindeman’s artistic vision just ahead of what promises to be an engaging international tour.
