Something from the Antipodes. The Necks are a Sydney trio using drum, bass and keyboards and a selection of found sounds. On this album, they lay down a rhythm, put a melody over the top, play around with it, introduce some noises they made earlier, and then, more than one hour later, they stop. It’s rather like hearing Keith Jarrett in a deep, but contented, rut.
Perhaps not the album you play when you want to listen to something intently but one that you find yourself drawn to when it’s playing in the background as the textures and the atmosphere change. What is it? Jazz? Downtempo? Ambient? Who knows? Not, I’m reliably informed, a good one for playing to the kids in the car - “is the first track nearly over yet?” - and so on.
