Rae Spoon

"Armour" (lyric video)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jan 18, 2016

While Rae Spoon's forthcoming, electro-organic offering Armour doesn't come out for another month, the Canadian singer-songwriter has premiered the touching title track. You can hear the shuffle of six-strings and drum machine beats now via a newly loosened lyric video.

The song finds Spoon's multi-layered vocal harmonies musing over personal details of building a life together with someone, and the many ways in which we protect ourselves emotionally. This all takes place above a skittery slap of electronic drum programming and tremolo-heavy melodies.

As for the visuals, Spoon's lyrics fade in and out of view over top of a magenta-tinted forest scene.

You can check out the single below, while Armour cracks open in full February 19 via Spoon's Coax Records imprint. You can also see Spoon's upcoming Canadian tour dates here.
