It's a natural progression for Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman s acclaimed songwriting practice. In excess virtue lies danger, or at least limits to pragmatic action it's a lesson hard learned by anyone disillusioned by the erosion of youthful mythologies. Strict fealty to a fixed ideal of identity doesn't do us any favors as adults. Loyalty, the third and finest album yet by The Weather Station (and the first for Paradise of Bachelors) wrestles with these knotty notions of faithfulness/faithlessness to our idealism, our constructs of character, our memories, and to our family, friends, and lovers representing a bold step forward into new sonic and psychological inscapes. It's a natural progression for Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman's acclaimed songwriting practice. Recorded at La Frette Studios just outside Paris in the winter of 2014, in close collaboration with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), the record crystallizes her lapidary songcraft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits, redolent of fellow Canadians Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Wiffen, but utterly her own.

Strict fealty to a fixed ideal of identity doesn t do us any favors as adults. Recorded at La Frette Studios just outside Paris in the winter of 2014, in close collaboration with Afie Jurvanen (Bahamas) and Robbie Lackritz (Feist), the record crystallizes her lapidary songcraft into eleven emotionally charged vignettes and intimate portraits, redolent of fellow Canadians Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and David Wiffen, but utterly her own. Lindeman describes La Frette, housed in an enormous, crumbling 19th-century mansion, as 'a secret garden, a place of enchantment and grace': walls mantled in ivy and lions, corridors piled high with discarded tape machines, old reels, and priceless guitars. As she puts it, 'Recording where we did meant we embraced beauty we weren't afraid of it being beautiful.' Like the record itself, it's a quietly radical statement, especially since certain passages achieve a diaphanous eeriness and harmonic and rhythmic tension new to The Weather Station. The stacked vocal harmonies of Tapes, the drifting, jazz-inflected chording in Life's Work, and the glacial percussion in Personal Eclipse contribute to a pervading sense of clock-stopping bloom and smolder, recalling the spooky avant-soul of Terry Callier s Occasional Rain. ## Images ![Loyalty - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71zy1yhrBBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect dream folk certainly the best of the year in its style *by J***. on 24 September 2015* Fantastic record, really beautifull, unique in its still, she gets what many try these days of neo folk fashion unsuccesfully. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stardust and Moonlight *by T***F on 11 May 2015* I'll be brief. Canadian singer/songwriter Tamara Lindeman's new album is among thefinest albums I have heard so-far in a year already filled with a great many sonic riches.One of the several beauties of 'Loyalty' is that she makes it all sound so very easy.It's isn't of course; craft of this kind is both innate and hard-won; either way a gift.Ms Lindeman has a gorgeous voice. Tonally it inhabits the middle of the stave; warmrich and effortlessly expressive; an instrument you could spend a lifetime getting to know.There are eleven songs on the album and something to love in each and every one.The folksy opening number 'Way It Is, Way It Could Be' ripples along on the back ofa solid rotating bass and percussion figure, some wonderfully limpid guitar lines andthe occasional appearance of luminous strings glowing like golden clouds at sunset.The title track 'Loyalty' inhabits a simpler structure but contains one of the loveliestvocal performances in the set; steady like a boat made out of well-seasoned wood.I have tendency to over-use the word "sublime" whenever music connects directly insome way to my heart but I make no apology in using it again here to describe thebeautiful composition 'Like Sisters'; a song worth its weight in stardust and moonlight.Please don't let this album pass you by.Essential. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***N on 25 November 2015* Lovely --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/54141656-loyalty](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/54141656-loyalty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
