Rae Spoon had to hunt to find musical community

By Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald September 14, 2010

In 2007, Rae Spoon found himself at a crossroads.

Having carefully cultivated the novel persona of a transgendered country singer from Calgary over three albums, the songwriter decided to veer from a well-worn musical path of twang into dark and unchartered territory.

The stakes, although self-imposed, were high. The 29-year-old knew that 2008's raw, personal and electronicatinged Superioryouareinferior would catch people off guard. Two years later, he says he viewed it as an make-or-break period in his career.
