The Necks

Jazz? Avant-garde? Ambient? The legendary Australian trio has been improvising beyond categorisation for 40 years.

STUK with 30CC

"One of the greatest bands in the world."
- New York Times

“They never rehearse. Their music is borderline indescribable. And their live shows have become the stuff of legend.”
- The Guardian

• 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).
