One of the great cult bands of Australia, The Necks improvise every show they play. No two sets are ever the same.

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.

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.

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

"It is a fairly safe bet to say that no other group in the world sounds quite like The Necks...extraordinary empathy and discipline" THE TIMES (UK)

"A performance by The Necks is a kind of religious experience"  THE AUSTRALIAN

"Ecstacy in slow motion... magically euphoric... The Necks' appearance was less a traditional concert than a fascinating opportunity to participate in the pulsating genesis of organic tones and sounds" WESER KURIER (BREMEN, GERMANY)
