"Sand, rocks, trees, water: all are the same and yet never the same twice." - Richard Williams, Uncut Magazine (Album of the Month, 9/10)
The Necks are one of the great cult bands of the world. 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, sometimes underpinned by an insistent deep groove, the twenty two 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.
"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
“No group in creative music is quite like the Australian trio, whose modal and minimalist performances extend a single idea to infinity.” - Daniel Spicer, The Wire Magazine (COVER STORY!)

This October, the indefatigably enigmatic trio The Necks will release Disquiet, their 20th full-length release, a triple disc via FISH OF MILK. It's an absolutely intoxicating listen from the Australian icons: over three hours of incredible music: On August 12, the band shared the mesmerising 26-minute Causeway as a first listen.
