The Necks are one of the great cult bands of Australia. Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) conjure a chemistry together that defies description in orthodox terms.

Featuring lengthy pieces which slowly unravel in the most mesmerising fashion, frequently underpinned by an insistent deep groove, the sixteen albums by The Necks stand up to re-listening time and time again.

"One of the greatest bands in the world" NEW YORK TIMES

The deceptive simplicity of their music throws forth new charms on each hearing. Not entirely avant-garde, nor minimalist, nor ambient, nor jazz, the music of The Necks is possibly unique in the world today.

"Like a vast sound-mass suspended in vibrating, seething stillness, its colour and luminosity changing slowly"
- TELEGRAPH, (UK), FIVE STAR REVIEW OF LONDON CONCERT

From their humble beginnings nearly a quarter of a century ago, The Necks are now regarded as one of the world's greatest exponents of improvised music. What began as a private jamming project with no plans to perform publicly The Necks are now getting calls from Brian Eno wanting to play with them or Nick Cave inviting them to perform at festivals. They are renowned globally for creating immersive, hypnotic concert experiences over two one-hour sets slowly conjuring sound mountains out of thin air and leaving audiences utterly mesmerized.

"...Entirely new and entirely now...They produce a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few parallels or rivals. They may teach us to listen in a new way, but they communicate a fierce energy and warmth at the same time. Their music is a thrilling, emotional journey into the unknown. Like seeing a world in a grain of sand, The Necks permit us to hear a whole new world of music in a sliver of sound" THE GUARDIAN (UK)

"The Necks can find eternity in a grain of sand" SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"maestros of the art ... a fascinating, delicately nuanced and heartwarming display of give and take." Live review, The Guardian, UK, 22/10/2014
