Toronto's The Weather Station, Avant-garde laptop folk noir

Four years in the making on a Toshiba Laptop using Sonar 4, Tamara Lindeman's project The Weather Station is a true lo-fi wonder complete with all sorts of organic soft spoken instruments which combine to give us a dark, desert-like, haunted record about loss and loneliness. The Line is a lovely blend of folk ballads along with a taste of the avant-garde, with Tamara's voice slinking and slithering on top. For fans of Patrick Watson, Nick Cave, Woven Hand, Cat Power, PJ Harvey, you get the idea. It's dark, noir folk at its finest.

Hear some of it tonight on my show, which will be streaming online 9-11 P.M, 7:30 EST.
