Stephen Farmer I love this album. It's so refreshing. Not a bad track on it, not even a mediocre track. I think Fire Season is my favourite just now although Through The Wall is excellent too. Favorite track: Fire Season.

Marco H. That album flashed me from start to end! Really fantastic work. And I'm happy to hear that sax came back to rock. Favorite track: Bellwether.

Akira Watts There is a lot going on here and, with so many styles and influences and bits and pieces mixed together, there could be the danger that it all sounds disjointed and fragmented. Instead, the sound of this album is effortless and endlessly changing. This is just genuinely fun to listen to. Favorite track: Fire Season.

about

"Probably the best prog debut of 2022."
-ProgRocks.gr

"The variety that’s on display here, both tonally and compositionally, makes for a true progressive experience in every sense of the word."
- Everything Is Noise

"We Broke The Weather are the kind of band that come along rarely. Their passion drips from every single note on display, and it’s clear that they are true admirers of the music that they have been inspired by. It’s also clear that they are gallant enough to experiment further and push the envelope well beyond what the average band might."
- Veil of Sound

"The blending of influences coated with some more "classically"-minded jazz rock channeled through the brass, reeds, drum, and bass makes for a superior product that forgives any semblance of its forbearers. Besides, catchy hooks both vocal and instrumental will get you bopping your head and singing along to the record long after you've unplugged your headphones. And if that's not what good music is all about, I don't know what is. 4.5/5"
-Sputnik Music staff review

This album is the culmination of three years of one of the luckiest musical encounters between complete strangers ever. Formed with next to no agenda or specific sound in mind, the members of we broke the weather simply connected over the shared music we love and the individual influences we could bring. The result is an eclectic set of sounds that continues to evolve, spanning the classic progressive rock of King Crimson, Yes, and Rush, contemporary prog of The Dear Hunter and Thank You Scientist, modern stoner, psych, and garage from the likes of Elder, King Gizzard, and Ty Segall, nu-jazz and fusion, math rock, post-rock, and so much more.

Meanwhile, in that time the world erupted in flames, a global pandemic has yet to be contained, democracies across the world are backsliding further into embracing fascism, authoritarianism, and ethno-nationalism, and America is struggling to keep its entire foundation from crumbling into a sinkhole. This band and this music have been both the life-raft and the megaphone, therapy and an act of rebellion. Anxieties over the past and future, depression over the present, and other looming threats are woven throughout this album. But at the end of the day, we're just a group of 5 guys with wives, kids, and jobs who are most likely yelling into the void and are just trying to have some fun while doing so. Come join us down in the hole. It's nice.
