Rae Spoon is no stranger to confounding people’s expectations of him.  Never one to settle for anyone’s cut-and-dried categorization, on his latest LP, I Can’t Keep All Of Our Secrets, Spoon undergoes a musical metamorphosis, giving way to the electro-pop sound he’s been flirting with these past few years and letting his folky side lay [...]

nun habe ich es mir doch angetan. dabei hatte ich mir fest vorgenommen, heuer dieser arbeit aus dem wege zu gehen. doch was solls. mir selbst bringt die übersicht einiges, wenigstens als kleiner orientierungsfaden. ich beanspruche keine vollständigkeit noch richtigkeit der daten und angaben. nicht zuletzt fehlen die vielen spannenden releases kleiner companies. das würde den rahmen sprengen. bereits jetzt gibt es hinweis auf über 130 veröffentlichungen mit fast 60 soundbeispielen. ergänzungen (in den kommentaren) nehmen wir gern entgegen, gegen eine aktualisierung sträuben wir uns aber. 01.01. guided by voices - let's go eat the factory ( fire ) guided by ...

Here’s one that almost made my best of 2011 lists.  In fact, I think I’ll tag it accordingly, even though it just didn’t edge out the competition. Rae Spoon, formerly of Saved By Radio, operates out of Montreal and makes mellow indie electronica that recalls the best non-dance Sinead O’Connor tracks.  I guess I’ll mention [...]

by nashawa Rae Spoon hails from Calgary (currently based in Montreal) and has an interesting and unique brand of indie-pop. Backed by VERY electronic beats (I don’t really know how else to describe it, you’ll see what I mean), Spoon delivers melodies heavily rooted in 80′s pop fashion without sounding dated or played out. A [...]

When I first heard his music a few years back, Rae Spoon was making brilliant acoustic coloured, country flavoured folk tunes that landed his Superioryouareinferior LP on the QBiM favourite albums of 2008 chart.  That record had hints about Spoon’s dalliance with electronic music, but nothing as overt as his disco-delving next record, Love Is [...]

La artista canadiense de folk Rae Spoon publicará nuevo disco el próximo 12 de enero de 2012 a través de Saved By Radio. Se llamará I Can’t Keep All Of Our Secrets, contendrá nueve nuevas canciones y su portada es la que podéis ver justo aquí arriba. Sin embargo, parece que este nuevo trabajo hará que cambiemos definitivamente la etiqueta “country” de su música por otra bien distinta. Al parecer, según recoge la revista Exclaim!, el nuevo álbum supondrá un giro hacia la electrónica, consiguiendo un resultado más cercano al...

Filed under: Exclusive , Northern Exposure Lindsey Baker Northern Exposure is Spinner's MP3 column highlighting the best in new Canadian music. This week we feature some of the finest acts at Toronto's North by Northeast festival (June 13-19). Either Samantha Savage Smith 's parents bestowed the ideal handle upon the Calgary singer-songwriter at birth, or she's come up with a rather apt stage name, because the pint-sized 24-year-old is about to shake up the music scene, once her preternaturally accomplished debut album, 'Tough Cookie,' is released this fall. After building buzz in the fertile Calgary indie scene over ...

Frank YangYou would think that my appreciation of a triple-bill of artists familiar and favoured would be of the “comfort food” variety more than anything else, but Saturday night’s lineup at the Horseshoe featuring Jenn Grant, Rae Spoon and Olenka & The Autumn Lovers offered up more than its share of pleasant surprises. By rights, [...]

Rae Spoon has told interviewers in the past that his songs are meant to be written with a certain sense of universality; that he prefers to have people glean their own meanings from his words; that they see themselves reflected in his experiences. Thankfully he doesn’t always succeed, as some of the finest tracks on the [...]
