The Weather Station - How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars

"How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars is an introspective record of songs which were written alongside those that appeared on Ignorance.  It is intended not to be a follow up, but to be a companion piece, a piece of reflection and quiet, meant to hold stillness in the aftermath. It was recorded live, as a performance; an improvisation, with a group of Toronto jazz musicians.  I imagined it as a record of ballads; simple, pure, almost naive, but speaking to many of the same realities as Ignorance does.  I see the two albums as two halves of the same coin; the moon and sun, a photograph and a photonegative."
