HUMANHOOD TOUR CONTINUES IN UK & EUROPE NEXT MONTH

“Lindeman shows influences from Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple, Beth Orton and Van Morrison, among many others. But the perspective in the songs is entirely her own, full of the 21st-century experience in all its disorientation and fleeting epiphanies.” — The New York Times

“On Humanhood, Lindeman brings the earth-swallowing scope of climate change and social collapse to human size — this is a record as much about heartbreak and community and the body as it is about our slump toward catastrophe. The record's power is in the way Lindeman tempers that pain with an abundance of light — Humanhood is a document of fear and loss, but never of defeat.” - Exclaim!, Cover Story 

“Ms. Lindeman has an uncanny ability to frame a particular feeling in terms simultaneously personal and universal.” — The Wall Street Journal

“[Humanhood] beautifully mixes pop, folk, rock, jazz, and ambient music, taking on moments of personal crisis, transition, and catharsis with engrossing poetic resolve.” — Rolling Stone

“Tamara Lindeman explores the complex interplay of personal trust, climate activism, and finding connection in a world rife with misinformation.” RANGE 

“Few artists have put out as much good music this decade as Tamara Lindeman.” — Paste

The Weather Station, the project of Tamara Lindeman, is known for “releasing emotionally attuned, patiently beautiful music for over a decade” (Pitchfork). Leading into a UK and European headline tour, The Weather Station now returns with two new singles recorded during the Humanhood sessions: the uptempo "Airport" and the lush and evocative, "Only The Truth”. Humanhood was released earlier this year and has been hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “a beautifully orchestrated album that deftly moves between personal observations and cosmic questions” and “the best thing that she’s done to date” by NPR Music. 

“There were so many strong songs I left off Humanhood because the album had such a narrative arc to adhere to, “Lindeman says. “‘Airport’ was one of them that I’m glad to release now. I’ve always hated airports; I find them so dehumanizing. This song tells a story of a person trying to mirror what is around them; that sort of shutting down, not caring, acting like you don’t care even when you really do. At the heart of it though is, of course, an intense longing, and a hope for something alive that feels like it can't be.” 

Lindeman describes “Only The Truth” as “one of my favourite songs from Humanhood and just didn’t make the tracklist at the very last moment, but it feels so relevant and connected with the record. It intersects with ‘Neon Signs,’ it expands on the same idea; that the truth is this sort of lumpen, complicated, organic thing. Falsehoods and lies glimmer, reach towards you, need you; but the truth ‘doesn’t care if you care / all it ever is is there.’”

Last month, multi-award-winning and JUNO Award-nominated ‘polymath’ Ruby Singh and the Future Ancestors announced a powerful new offering: Celestial Libations, a genre-bending blues / gospel / hip-hop / griotic album that summons myth, spirit and a future-facing reverence for the past. In this “ineffable” collaboration, Singh is joined by Arthur Flowers— 73 year old renowned Memphis-born griot, novelist, and Hoodoo practitioner.

Today, they’re sharing another new track from the album, “When The Hammer Falls”, a thunderous meditation on faith, collapse, and resilience. With Ruby Singh, Arthur Flowers, and Khari Wendell McClelland at the helm, the track fuses hard-hitting hip hop, and blues prophecy into a spell for the times we’re living in.

Part myth, part mirror, “When The Hammer Falls” asks what happens when the gods we once believed in, political, spiritual, or personal, fail us. Flowers’ Hoodoo storytelling and McClelland’s fierce flows with Singh’s razor-sharp verses, conjure a sound that sits somewhere between sermon and street anthem. It’s a song for the reckoning and for the strength it takes to keep believing when the world itself feels like it’s breaking apart.

“This song came out of watching the world unravel; climate chaos, greed, oligarchies, genocide and realizing that the hammer’s already falling,” says Singh. “We wanted to hold that truth without flinching, but also to find rhythm and spirit inside it. ‘When The Hammer Falls’ is both a warning and a prayer, a call to rise even as the sky comes down.”

MORE ABOUT BLADED EDGE BETWEEN
On November 4, Ruby Singh will also release Bladed Edge Between, his new collection of poetry available via Next Page Press. Bladed Edge Between navigates intersections of memory, sound, and survival. This collection unfolds as a sonic archive of longing, belonging, and becoming. Anchored in the sacredness of place, diasporic grief, and mystical remembrance, the poems move through ecological resonance, spiritual inheritance, and intergenerational healing.

“Marked by a yearning for one’s ancestral roots in the Punjab, as well as a deep reverence for the foremothers whose protective prayers sing through time, these poems guide us, no matter what our respective origin story is, closer to the healing power of remembering, of music, of language,” writes Faisal Mohyuddin (author of Elsewhere: An Elegy and The Displaced Children of Displaced Children).

Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry Cecily Nicholson adds that, “Ruby Singh’s poems navigate the loss and thrash of mortality, where winged forms lift, and the mother tongue finds a vessel. Attuned to cellular vibration, the rhythm of snowflakes, and the sonics of constellations, Bladed Edge Between is illuminated by lamplight and dances in the celestial glow. Beautiful.”

MORE ABOUT CELESTIAL LIBATIONS 
Their creative kinship began in a moment of instant recognition of each other's work in the world: two artists from distant lineages, linked by a deep respect for ancestral craft, future seeding and storytelling as ritual. What followed was an unfolding of trust, laughter, improvisation and kinship with story, poetry, rhythm, and prayer woven into a living tapestry.

“I’d been wanting to work with Arthur for years, since we first met at the Indian Summer Festival in Vancouver and thankfully the stars aligned! I can’t believe this incredible man's work has never been recorded and released, so we wanted to make all the room on this album to celebrate this story slingin’ hoodoo man! His love and dedication to the craft in service to the greater world is deeply inspiring” says Singh. “Then I knew my brother, Khari Wendell McClelland, had to be a part of dreaming this album into existence; his voice, his spirit, his friendship and his songwriting have always enriched my life. The project had an undeniable pulse, we just kept following the signals, and through a lot of joy and kinship, this album was born”

Celestial Libations is a mythic journey, a sonic offering, and a conjuring of what feeds the spirit. An album made in reverence and resistance—born of collaboration, rooted in tradition, and reaching toward what’s possible. It doesn't look away from grief or injustice, but leans into them with rhythm, rhyme, and spirit. The album brings together the rawness of blues, the urgency of hip hop, the griotic traditions of myth and the uplift of gospel. Blending hip hop, blues, gospel, and griotic traditions, Ruby Singh & The Future Ancestors ft. Arthur Flowers pour songs and stories like libations—rituals to remember, rhythms for resistance, and spells to seed the world to come.

“I’ve been psychically wrestling with the state of the world, a live stream genocide, climate crisis, the purposeful destruction of human life and our future on this planet, all for profits of those that already have too much… really makes me question my faith in humanity and divinity. When we first started meeting, we were in deep conversation about the state of the world and the rising powers of oligarchs and facism. We knew we wanted the music to not just be responsive but generative toward the world we wanted to see. Arthur, in his wisdom, knew that we could probe these issues through one of the oldest ways humans always have: story. His griotic gifts act as a guide through the album and waters the seeds in the dry garden of the human heart” says Singh

Each track is a call across time and lineage: a prayer, a praise-song, a blues-spun incantation. With booming beats, illuminating rhymes, and soaring harmonies, the Future Ancestors summon liberation, longing, grief, divinity, and becoming.

“When I first met Ruby Singh I detected his magical nature, but little did I know just how much of a dream weaver he is until he, Khari and Holly wove dreams I didn’t even know I had into realities, so fine they glow like stars in the firmament.” says Flowers 

Ruby Singh brings his composition and lyricism —drawing on ancestral memory and future vision. His voice moves from grounded spoken word to explosive rhyme, always with heart, always in service of something greater. The legendary Arthur Flowers, the blues doctor himself, brings his Hoodoo storytelling—tales of Br’er Rabbit, Sister Beetle, and the Monkey Doctor—braiding together trickster myth and wisdom with his conjuring ways. His presence is both invocation and blessing. Khari Wendell McClelland, of the Sojourners, lights the way with his gospel-infused melodies and songwriting brilliance, delivering lines that rise like fire towards the night sky. Together, this trio holds the core of a work rooted in reverence, kinship, and sonic healing. Joining this sacred constellation are Holly Eccleston (Vocals), Gordon Grdina (oud and guitar), Kenton Loewen (percussion), Paul Finlay (DJ), and Karlis Silins (upright and electric bass).

The album lives in relationship with Singh’s forthcoming poetry collection, Bladed Edge Between (out on November 4). A parallel offering, the book moves through themes of memory, sound, and survival—intergenerational grief and becoming as a spiritual act. Like the album, it is a cartography of diasporic longing, radical joy and mystic understanding that maps personal and ancestral memory across music, ritual, and migration. The book will be accompanied by a limited spoken word release. Both projects ask: What are the stories we carry? What will we leave behind? What might we become if we truly listen?

Celestial Libations draws a ceremonial circle with stardust, incanting the names of the many, for a mythic remembering. It’s blues as ceremony, hip hop as spellwork, gospel as uprising—a testament to the sacred work of becoming. 

The album will premier at LOBE Studios in Vancouver on November 21st and 22nd by way of a launch and listening party with a tour planned for the summer of 2026.

EVAN REDSKY’S NEW LP, THE LANGUAGE OF FISHERMEN, OUT TODAY

EVAN REDSKY RELEASES NEW ALBUM, THE LANGUAGE OF FISHERMEN, OUT TODAY VIA VICTORY POOL RECORDS

Today, punk-rocker / folk storyteller Evan Redsky is releasing his new LP, The Language of Fisherman, via Victory Pool Records. Seeking inspiration for this new record, Redsky happened upon the works of celebrated Ojibwe author Richard Wagamese. Many of the songs on The Language of Fishermen were inspired by Wagamese’s stories, especially those from his autobiographical book One Native Life. 

Redsky, like Wagamese, is Anishinabek, and the two share the experience of growing up in the bush, on reserve, and navigating between cultural worlds. Between honouring Wagamese’s words and sharing his own reflections, Redsky’s The Language of Fishermen contains a lifetime of feeling—including honouring the often overlooked positive moments of simplicity and fulfillment.

“Contemporary Indigenous life experience doesn’t have to be rooted in trauma,” Redsky explains. “The little moments we experience, and the land we come from, are rich with inspiration.”

This soft, reflective state is captured on the album’s title song, “The Language of Fishermen”, as the crew on the boat in the middle of the lake share “a smile, a nod, to the mystery of the land” as “The loons and shorebirds sang their songs.” Track two “Watching” (also inspired by Wagamese) conjures this sense of peace in everyday life, as a “foster kid from the fly-ins” learns by observation and comes to the conclusion: “If love and work is enough for them / It’s good enough for me.”

MORE ABOUT EVAN REDSKY + THE LANGUAGE OF FISHERMEN
Growing up on the Mississaugi First Nation reserve of Blind River, Ontario, Redksy was often compelled to hitchhike to Toronto to immerse himself in the city’s burgeoning punk and hardcore music scene. Redsky recalls sleeping under bridges and on construction sites, dedicated to making music happen. At 19 years old, Redsky started performing with punk outfit Single Mothers, going on to perform with the JUNO Award-nominated group everywhere from local clubs to Primavera Sound to the Pitchfork Music Festival. However, as the group saw increasing success, Redsky felt more and more empowered to explore other musical paths and tell his own stories.

These days, it’s tough to keep up with all of Redsky’s eclectic projects. He’s a member of “Turtle Island Hardcore” band Indian Giver; he performs with folk-rock duo Altameda and he plays bass with groups like country ensemble Nicolette and the Nobodies. A stalwart of the Toronto scene, Redsky’s commitment to collaboration is evident in his impressive musicianship and impassioned songwriting, as he showcased on his debut solo album, 2022’s Oblivion.

LISTEN / SHARE “ARE WE FEELING OKAY?” HERE

As for the stories in Redsky’s The Language Of Fisherman, his desire to share them can be traced to his prominent lineage of storytellers within his community. Notably, his great-grandfather, James Redsky, whose book The Great Leader of The Ojibway was published by the University of Toronto in the early 1970s. James Redsky was a prominent member of the spiritual group known as the Midewiwin and was one of the last people to possess ancient birch bark scrolls depicting centuries-old etchings that informed the community of much of their pre-colonial history.

The openness and sincerity that abounds on The Language of Fishermen was made possible by the deep connection and trust of its musicians. For the recording sessions at Dreamhouse Studios in downtown Toronto, Redsky brought in the “best friends and best players” he knew, including Matt Kelly (City and Colour), Troy Snaterse and Erik Grice (Altameda), and John Dinsmore (Sarah Harmer, Bahamas), arranging and recording live off the floor. The resultant sound is crisp and inviting, with humming organ, pedal steel, and piano licks expanding around Redsky’s distinctive, silvery voice.

On album closer “Am I Allowed to Heal”, Redsky turns the camera directly on himself. The stories of trauma, recovery, and peace-making that linger across this album, this final track is as bold and direct in its message as in its raucous arrangement, harkening back to Redsky’s punk roots.

WATCH / SHARE “COSMIC CAROUSEL” (OFFICIAL VIDEO) HERE

The theme of healing — and questioning if, when, and how healing can be accomplished — comes from Redsky’s own journey in the past few years. Through meditation, sobriety, and music, “The healing journey is constantly transforming,” Redsky says. But having known many Indigenous people who need permission to forgive themselves, and allow the healing process to begin, this song feels boldly overt, honest.

A couple decades into making music, with many more stretching out ahead, Redsky’s story is one of staying committed over the years, trusting the process, and trusting himself. Like the rolling highways Redsky sings of the song, “Northern Road”, with a “starry night beyond those headlights that could go on forever,” Redsky’s journey goes on.
