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 taht Rae is transgendered because all the press releases say that–but I don’t see how it matters. The music is what matters. And it’s tremendously deep and soulful–something rare for electronic music, frankly.
