"Tried to Tell You" is the second song to be lifted from Ignorance, following last month's "Robber", which is the opening song from the new LP.

The Weather Station, aka Tamara Lindeman, says the new song is about "reaching out to someone; a specific person, or maybe every person, who is tamping down their wildest and most passionate self in service of some self (and world?) destructive order."

Ignorance will be Lindeman's first album in three years after 2017's The Weather Station LP.

The new album marks the first time Lindeman has written songs on keyboard instead of guitar. Ignorance was co-produced by Lindeman and Marcus Paquin (Arcade Fire), who also mixed the album.

Lindeman recorded the album with help from contributing musicians including drummer Kieran Adams, bassist Ben Whiteley, percussionist Philippe Melanson, saxophonist Brodie West, flutist Ryan Driver, keyboardist Johnny Spence, and guitarist Christine Bougie.
