On Spirit, Dear Rouge turned to the ones that had been there all along: their bassist Jordan Kern, longtime collaborator Ryan Worsley (GUS, Mathew V), Broken Social Scene founder Brendan Canning, pop-star and former tourmate Lights, friends and musicians Derek Hoffman, Jordan Klassen, Daniel Klenner, Herag Sanbalian, and Frederik Thaae, and the most intimate pairing of all, each other. The only invitation to an outsider was extended to producer Thomas D'arcy (Neko Case, July Talk, The Sheepdogs), who felt like an insider already, given his close friendship with several of those already in the "inner circle". Leaning out the writing and production team allowed the most vulnerable and raw side of Danielle's inner thoughts to shine through. Spirit is the line being thrown from these questions and deep reckonings, urging you to grab hold and hang on for dear life.
