No matter what does it for you, it's almost certain that you could dig up an equal and opposite view, decrying your preferences as "hollow pleasures" or "false choices." Refreshing, then, for Anomie Belle's track "Machine" to turn the lens on the songwriter herself: "I have done unconscionable things/ in pursuit of dreams fed to me." The track features Mr. Lif, and the promotional clip creates a tense imbalance between audio and video: the skateboarding and the wild-eyed chanteuse in elegant dress alongside the even-pulsed trip-hop and unabashed social commentary. Even the lipsynching is [...]
Blur // Big Spider's Back I've been trying to think of a good second song for this post for a little while now. I wanted something pretty guitar-based and from a band people would know, although a song they wouldn't. Anyway, I ended up hearing todays second song and thinking that my previous brief could sod off. The first song is a classic from Blur, and it's so laid back it's horizontal. It's one everybody knows and one that nobody worth knowing dislikes. The song is so effortlessly [...]

What started as bedroom project four years ago has materialized into "soaring crescendos and dense thickets of electronic ambience. The result is one big, blissed out cacophony." Big Spider's Back has one of the ten tracks featured on today's Monday Facelift. Big Spider's Back - "Black Chow"
I hate chillwave. Not the music that's been christened "chillwave" necessarily, but the fact that any kind of music that incorporates any sort of echoing, down-tempo electronic is immediately considered "chillwave." It pigeonholes artists into this bigger "scene," and it really limits where they can go. However, all aversions to mislabeling aside, Brooklyn (via Seattle) native Big Spider's Back drops a compelling electronic debut, Memory Man . His minimalist approach paves the way for a smooth aesthetic that drives the album into territories that occasionally transcend the chillwave label. This album thrives on its vocal [...]

I whip my hair back and forth. Not because I am a teenage girl (although I sometimes act like one) but because there is a party. No, it's not in my pants. This party is in my ears, and soon it will be in yours as well. I am pleased to present to you The Indie Sabbath - more refreshing than an ice-cold soda in the middle of the desert. For me, music is the purest form of communication this world has to offer. I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. [...]
Big Spider's Back - Black Chow Last summer, I happened upon and was considerably impressed with Big Spider's Back's—real name Yair Rubinstein of Seattle—debut EP Warped during my first flirtations with these things we call "music blogs". Even though Rubinstein was a new musician on the bedroom pop scene, the EP was five tracks long and all killer, no filler. His songs have made appearances on many of the mixtapes I've made for my friends, and not [...]

loden - "offusive behavior" (download) 2011 is shaping up to be a good year for Circle Into Square Records . With the recently released Memory Man record from Big Spider's Back getting lots of praise, and now Loden 's Burning Man Stage Hand (out 7/26), Circle Into Square is proving itself as a label you need to be paying attention to. Loden has produced songs for Busdriver and K-the-i??? and I'm sure he'll be even [...]
The formerly Seattle-based electro-pop project Big Spider's Back has recently relocated to Brookyn, and with the move has seemingly come all the trappings of media recognition. Perhaps you caught his new album Memory Man last week on Hype Machine. If you missed the chance to splendor in the woozy electronic palletes in streaming form, he'll be celebrating the release with an official release party, as one does, tomorrow at Coco68 in Greenpoint with Alaskas, who shares an identical migrat...
I've heard Big Spider's Back being mentioned around before but never took the time to sit down and listen until now. BSB is an evolved electronic solo project of Yair Rubinstein's who is originally from Seattle but now resides in Brooklyn. His latest album, titled Memory Man , is what caught my attention and is now terribly making me regret ignoring his music before. The record has recently become available via streaming but has yet to be released for sale by Circle Into Square on July 5th. Big Spider's Back [...]
