Tamara Lindeman WEATHER STATION FORECASTER

What music are you currently grooving to?

June Tabor. I love her voice and have a real soft spot for British Isles folk music. Also, Eau De Bonjourno by Bernice, a Toronto band. They bring this joy, and I really am drawn to that. And Theo Parrish, a Detroit electronic artist.

What, if push comes to shove, is your all-time favourite album?

Jennifer Castle.

Pink City by I think she tapped into something eternal with that record. The added dimension that it was made by someone I know and care about deepens the art for me in a beautiful way.

What was the first record you ever bought? And where did you buy it? It’s pretty embarrassing – it was a CD of The Visit by the Canadian artist Loreena McKennitt, who’s sort of like a borderline New Age artist.

I was a little kid, my family had just got a van that had a CD-player and that was what I wanted to buy with my allowance, I’m assuming from like, HMV or something. I totally loved it.

Which musician, other than yourself, have you ever wanted to be? It would have been amazing to be a musician in the ’60s, but there’s no particular musician I’d want to be. What do you sing in the shower? Lee Ann Womack’s There’s More Where That Came From. It’s wellwritten, new country music that’s not offensive, cunning in a way that I really like country to be.

What is your favourite Saturday night record?

Probably soul – Curtis Mayfield, The Impressions, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson. I do actually look forward to being able to be out in the world again with friends, laughing and, you know, dancing! And your Sunday morning record? Any of Nathan Salsburg’s records. Really beautiful thinking music, peaceful mind music. Ideally, I’d wake up, have a coffee, stretch, maybe read The New Yorker, sit somewhere where there’s some nice light coming in the window, write a song.

How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is out now on Fat Possum. The Weather Station tour the UK this month.
