biographical info
Saved By Radio’s Rae Spoon is a
transgendered indie electronic musician
who lives in Montreal.
I Can’t Keep All Of Our Secrets is
Rae’s sixth full-length release. A pop/
electronic album about the complexity
of grief, it focuses on a particular
experience of loss. Rae wrote the album
in the wake of a friend’s sudden death.
With palpable emotion, the songs
map the topography of loss and of
attachment that extends beyond death.
Musically, I Can’t Keep All Of Our
Secrets is Rae’s most electronic album
to date and marks progress in a journey
that pulled Rae towards rock/electronic
music from their folk roots.
Using heavily programmed production,
analog synths and distorted electric
guitars, Rae has moved beyond
experimenting to establishing their
own style in the genre. The album
features computer programming and
beats by Lynne T (Montreal’s Lesbians
on Ecstasy) and Berlin’s Alexandre
Decoupigny. It was co-produced by
Lorrie Matheson in Calgary, Alberta.
Rae has toured extensively over the
past ten years in Canada as well
as internationally. Through touring,
they have managed to build a strong
grassroots following. Rae was longlisted
for Polaris Music Prize in 2008
(superioryouareinferior) as well as
nominated for two CBC Radio 3 Bucky
Awards in 2010.
