Big Spider's Back

  • Beginning as a bedroom recording project in the summer of 2007, electronic artist Big Spider’s Back has amassed a growing following in the Northwest’s DIY community and beyond. Combining haunting vocals with swirling layers of lo-fi psychedelia, synthesizers and field recordings, his music alternates between soaring crescendos and dense thickets of electronic ambience. The result is one big, blissed out cacophony.

    Along with his recording projects, Big Spider’s Back has also collaborated with various video artists, lending his music to installations and his own live performances. He's debut EP, "Warped," comes out November 10th on Circle Into Square.

    "collating infectious instrumental loops that build into an atmosphere of sound"

    "It becomes quite clear early on that this ain’t no peak-heavy, over-compressed, Casio-synthesizer shtick. Instead, this EP finds Yair wafting through a spacey soundscape of melded electronic ambience and psychedelic pop, not so far from contemporaries Atlas Sound and Panda Bear."
    Pitchfork | Warped
    "certainly sounds like the work of more than one bedroom-dwelling knob-twister"
