In his early twenties he hit the road as one of the worlds 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 its highways. superioryouareinferior is Raes fourth solo album, and his first in over two years. It was co-produced by Lorrie Matheson in his Calgary studio. 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, cabin fever, dancing with grizzlies, the psychology of a haunting ghost and the issues of ongoing colonialism. 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 doesnt stick to one genre, but it retains Raes respect for well written songs and his folk music roots that keep him connected to his audience. http://a489.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/20/l_91703de7cdae6dbedc8093f83e4ace40.jpg An absolutely amazing album. Canadian music at its very best. :wub:
