"One of the greatest bands in the world."

• The Necks
The legendary Australian cult trio The Necks has been at the forefront of the international avant-garde for almost 40 years. Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) have been working on their unorthodox sound for eighteen albums: long pieces that unfold slowly, floating on a sustained deep groove. The seemingly simplicity of their music reveals new details with every listen. Neither entirely avant-garde, minimalist, ambient, nor jazz, The Necks' music is entirely hors catégorie. Few bands have consistently achieved such high quality for decades while remaining so recognizable. Just listen to their first album, Sex (1989), and then their latest album, Disquiet (2025).
