Revered music trailblazers and one of Australia’s great cult bands, The Necks, release their 20th studio album Bleed and prepare for their next Australian tour.
The new Necks album Bleed explores a sublime language of stillness. With a single, 42-minute composition, The Necks masterfully express the unspeakable beauty of decay and space in yet another totally distinct entry in a vast and stunning body of work.
Formed in Sydney in 1987, The Necks have operated with the same line-up for more than thirty years. They have released over 20 live and studio produced albums to outstanding critical acclaim. The Necks studio albums are often intricately layered in the mixing process and can feature additional instrumentation. The deceptive simplicity of their music throws forth new charms on each hearing.
‘No group in creative music is quite like the Australian trio, whose modal and minimalist performances extend a single idea to infinity.' The Wire(UK)
