    The Weather Station is Lindeman's loosest, most confident album yet, but it may also prove to be her most deeply psychological; she doesn't hold back.

    Best of all, perhaps, the skill and imagination she displays in her arrangements suggest that there's a lot of scope for adventure in the future of a musician who found her groove but seems unlikely to get stuck in it. [Nov 2017, p.34]

    There are moments of ‘saneness and plainness’ on the album, but these are only short, giddy moments. The great bulk of material on it plays under the assertion that one conclusion, or one reading of a situation is impossible. Great works contain multitudes, and that is exactly what you’ll get here.

    Her pearlescent, Joni Mitchell-style voice and feel are the clearest yet. [Nov 2017, p.101]

    She finds new ways to bring her words to life, backed by a band with more urgency and energy than ever before.

    The Weather Station is a model example of expanding an act’s sound without losing sight of what made them great to begin with.

    There’s plenty to unpack lyrically, too, which makes it ideal for a headphones listen. You know, not unlike Blue or Court And Spark.
