Tamara Lindeman returns with her Weather Station moniker. "I've gotten used to feeling like I'm crazy-or just lazy," she sings at the start of "Neon Signs." But she's neither. I'd argue she's rather actively astute in reading the human condition through a skew of indie rock and melodic arrangements. This Toronto-based artist wrings out stress, and desolation, in portraying how cities can push anybody over the edge with the telling lead single.
Akinmusire says, "In many respects, this entire work is inspired by and is an homage to the work of the composer Julius Eastman and his organic music concept. This album is about the fears and struggles I personally face, as well as those many Black men endure: colorism, erasure, and the question of who gets to speak for my community, and why."
