   About Rae Spoon
Rae Spoon was born on the Canadian prairies of the 80’s. In his early twenties he hit the road as one of the world’s only transgendered country singers and toured Canada, Europe, Australia and the USA. When the obvious dangers and contradictions of this role caught up to him he hid in a small town in Eastern Germany for a winter. There he was inspired to write an album about his darker experiences of Canada and it’s highways. superioryouareinferior is Rae’s fourth solo album, and his first in over two years. It was co-produced by Lorrie Matheson in his Calgary studio. Lyrically the album is his most revealing to date. His voice walks the highways from the Yukon to Newfoundland singing of whales that have gotten lost, the wolves in our imaginations, the Great Lakes, cabin fever, dancing with grizzlies, the psychology of a haunting ghost and the issues of ongoing colonialism. Musically he traverses new territories from art folk, to indie-rock, to electronic/experimental and noise. Being in Europe influenced him to trade his banjo for a computer and his acoustic guitar for an electric. superioryouareinferior is an album of the times in that it doesn’t stick to one genre, but it retains Rae’s respect for well written songs and his folk music roots that keep him connected to his audience.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
