Rae Spoon:
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. 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.

Timmy Straw:
Timmy Straw’s first song was written at the age of five and was a love
song. This particular love was unrequited and therefore momentous.
Timmy’s second song, at 8, was about the atom bomb. This was followed
with a rap song about Indian reservations, and then lots and lots of
songs about God. When Timmy grew up she decided to stop writing about
things he knew very little about. She sings, plays piano, trumpet,
banjo, drum machines, synthesizer, and mandolin. She played, recorded,
produced and mixed her first and only album ‘State Parks’ by herself
without really knowing what she was doing. It was a hair-raising
experience and she still apologizes to all her roommates for being a
total banshee in the process.
