Empezando en Europa influenciado en cambiar su banjo por una computadora y su guitarra acustica por una electrica. superioryouareinferior es un album que en estos tiempos no se estanca en un solo genero pero mantiene el respecto de Rae por una buena escritura en sus canciones y sus raices folks que mantienen conectada a la audiencia.
ENGLISH
Rae Spoon was born on Calgary Alberta. In his early twenties he hit the road as one of the world’s only transgender 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. 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, dancing with grizzlies and more fascinanting issues.
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.
