Spiller might have started in Eugene, Oregon, but the band is made up of members from San Jose, Maui, Lake Tahoe and Hong Kong. A band of transplants and nomads, Spiller’s sound is equally nomadic and exploratory, including elements of ’90s indie rock like Karate and Tortoise, swelling choruses of radio emo grandeur and improvisatory passages of modal guitar interplay. It’s a complex sound that comes off as comfortable, assured and at least a little playful. They return to San Jose behind two new singles, “Cowboy Bill” and “Dancy,” both released in May.

Spiller might have started in Eugene, Oregon, but the band is made up of members from San Jose, Maui, Lake Tahoe and Hong Kong. A band made up of transplants and nomads, their sound is equally nomadic and exploratory, including elements of ’90s indie rock like Karate and Tortoise, swelling choruses of radio emo grandeur and improvisatory passages of modal guitar interplay. It’s a complex sound that comes off as comfortable, assured, and at least a little playful (like the Radar Love sounding blues section that unexpectedly occurs in their EP’s second track). This is an exciting and interesting band well worth checking out live.
