http://www.uptownmag.com/music/features/The-evolution-of-Rae-Spoon-140032373.htmlRae Spoon has a lot to talk about these days.
The Montreal-based transgender indie/electro experimentalist just released their sixth album, I Can't Keep All Of Our Secrets — an emotional electro pop exploration of grief and loss inspired by the death of a friend. Musically, it's the former Calgary country crooner's most electronic offering to date, a dance-floor friendly collage of heavily programmed production, analog synths and distorted electric guitars.
In addition to promoting what is arguably their best album yet, Spoon will also be publishing their first book, First Spring Grassfire — a semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical account of growing up trans in Alberta — in the fall, and the National Film Board has a documentary about the fascinating artist in the works.
