Edit history

Jack Spider is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter with a shambolic style that is equal parts bizarre and beautiful. Jack has a decade-long history of playing as a member of many seminal Brisbane bands such as Babaganouj, Blonde Tongues & Inland Sea, and this project sees his song writing madness take centre-stage with influences from Pavement, Kylie Minogue, Beck and The Drones. After the release of his debut EP, Animal Cafe in 2018, Jack Spider returns in 2020 with his most self-assured body of work yet in his new EP, The Year I Spent As A Goth Tennis Player — a broadly influenced collection of songs that doubles as a farewell to an era in his life. Jack Spider moves between styles like he has phases in his life, each leaving their mark on the whole body of work like ex-lovers and best friends do. He uses a myriad of sonic influences and combines it with his devastating-yet-funny lyrical honesty, similar to that of Phoebe Bridgers or Matt Berninger, to make a statement
