Samoe Bolshoe Prostoe Chislo is a Russian indie group formed in 2006 by Kirill Ivanov and the duo EU.

History

In 2006, the journalist Kirill Ivanov met with the duo EU and showed them his musical material (at the time labeled as post-hip-hop, anti-hip-hop, deconstructivist hip-hop), which he had worked on in his free time.[1] Ivanov first performed his material as part of 2H Company, a side-project of EU. The first performance in Moscow took place at the Avant Festival in 2006. In August, Ivanov performed at Nashestvie, after which the decision was made to record the new project's debut album.[2]

Initially, the group was known as 232,582,657 – 1, a representation of the largest known prime number at the time.[3]

In 2007, the first album was finished and distributed through friends. The recording reached the famous musician and producer Oleg Nesterov, who officially released it on his label, Snegiri .[4]

A few years into the formation Samoe Bolshoe Prostoe Chislo, Kirill Ivanov continued to work as a journalist and did stories for the programs Glavnyi Geroi on NTV and Bolshoi Gorod on STS.[5] [6] For a story on the Grushinsky festival for the latter program, Ivanov wrote a song that was performed at the festival by TV presenter Tatyana Arno with support from Aleksandr Zaitsev.[7]

In 2008, the band members carried out the project SBPC-Orchestra along with some musician friends. An album of the same name was recorded, with the participation of 17 different musicians, from Stas Baretsky to Larik Surapov, ObschezhitiE, and Klever.

In the spring of 2009, the group returned to its status as a trio. SPBC moved away from its original genre, IDM: Ilya Baramiya took up the bass guitar, while Aleksandr Zaitsev became the guitarist and secondary vocalist, on equal footing with Ivanov. Some of the new material was performed at concerts and released as singles, but the group's third album was not released until November 12, 2011.[8]

In 2012, the group released the album Lesnoi Orakul, which was inspired by summertime sensations, especially stays at the children's camp "Kamchatka", where Kirill Ivanov had worked as a counselor from time to time. They also filmed a music video for the song "Idealnoe Mesto", the lead single from the album. The drummer Aleksandra Zakharchenko participated in the recording of the album.[9] [10]

The split album SPBC and Cassiopeia Sing Each Other's Songs was released in 2013 in a limited edition on red vinyl. It is the last recording to feature Alexander Zaitsev. After this, the group consisted for some time of Kirill Ivanov and Ilya Baramiya, who occasionally brought outside singers and musicians into their creative process.[11]

On March 3, 2014, the album Ya dumayu, dlya etovo ne pridumali slovo was released. On May 19, 2015, the album Zdes' i vsegda was released.

In September 2016, the group released the album My - ogromnoe zhivotnoe, i my vas vsekh s'edim!, which was rated 7.5/10 by Afisha.[12] A large-scale concert performance of the album took place in November in the Moscow venue Izvestiya Hall.[13]

In 2017, "Vybroshu golovu - pust' dumaet serdtse!" was released on the Internet, and the group appeared in the Russian film About Love. For Adults Only, performing the song "Tam" .

In the spring of 2018, the group released the album My ne spali, my snilis, in which singer and actress Zhenya Borzykh appeared as a full-fledged member of the group. In addition, the album featured Nadia Gritskevich, Thomas Mraz, and the Children's Television and Radio Choir of St. Petersburg. The album was produced by Aleksandr Lipsky, former keyboard player of the band Pompeya.[14]
