Austraalia avant-jazzi teerajajad The Necks 25. aprillil Paavli Kultuurivabrikus!
The Necks on 1987. aastal Sydneys asutatud Austraalia trio, kes on ligi neljakümne tegutsemisaasta jooksul välja andnud 20 stuudioalbumit. Ansambli ridadesse kuuluvad Chris Abrahams (klaver, Hammondi orel), Tony Buck (trummid, löökpillid, elektrikitarr) ja Lloyd Swanton (basskitarr, kontrabass).
Nende muusikat on alati saatnud sügav jagatud vastutus, mis avaldub nii mängijate omavahelises pühendumises improvisatsioonile kui ka teose ja kuulaja vahelises avatuses. Kriitikud ja pühendunud kuulajad on nende loomingut sageli kirjeldanud kui hüpnotiseerivat, atmosfäärilist ja meditatiivset, emotsionaalselt rikast muusikat. Ammutades mõjutusi minimalismist, vabaimprovisatsioonist ja ambient-muusikast, avardub The Necks’i looming orgaaniliseks ja kuulajat kaasavaks kogemuseks.
Tänavu ilmunud album Disquiet kannab endas enam kui kolme tundi sügavuti hargnevat improvisatsioonilist materjali. See nüansirikas ja erakordse täpsusega salvestatud teos annab aimu ansambli kollektiivse intuitsiooni ulatusest. Disquiet’i teeb ainulaadseks asjaolu, et mitmete kriitikute hinnangul jõuab see kõige lähemale The Necks’i live-esinemise kogemisele. Nende etteastete keskmes on sageli üks vaikne kujund, millele teised muusikud vastavad. Iseseisvalt, ent lahutamatult põimunud, arendavad nad teost peente tonaalsete nihete ja aeglaselt lahtijoonistuvate motiivide kaudu.
Albumile Disquiet eelnenud väljaanded Travel (2023) ja Bleed (2024) on samuti pälvinud laialdast kriitikute heakskiitu ning kinnitasid bändi staatust kaasaegse improvisatsioonilise muusika uuendajana. Nende 2017. aastal ilmunud topeltalbum Unfold nimetati ajakirja Rolling Stone poolt aasta üheks parimaks avangardalbumiks ning 2020. aastal paigutas Rolling Stone The Necks’i 50 parima Austraalia artisti sekka.

Australian avant-jazz pioneers The Necks live at Paavli Kultuurivabrik on April 25!
Formed in Sydney in 1987, The Necks are an Australian trio who, over nearly four decades of activity, have released 20 studio albums. The group consists of Chris Abrahams (piano, Hammond organ), Tony Buck (drums, percussion, electric guitar), and Lloyd Swanton (electric bass, double bass).
The Necks’ music has always been guided by a profound sense of shared responsibility, evident both in the musicians’ deep commitment to improvisation and in the open relationship between the music and the listener. Critics and devoted audiences alike have often described their work as hypnotic, atmospheric, and meditative – emotionally rich music drawing on influences from minimalism, free improvisation, and ambient sound. Their compositions unfold organically, inviting listeners into an immersive experience.
Released in 2025, the album Disquiet spans more than three hours of deeply evolving improvisational material. Nuanced and recorded with exceptional precision, the album offers a striking insight into the band’s collective intuition. According to several critics, Disquiet comes closer than ever to capturing the experience of The Necks’ live performance. Their concerts often revolve around a single, quiet figure, to which the other musicians respond. Independently yet inextricably intertwined, they develop the music through subtle tonal shifts and slowly emerging motifs.
Previous releases Travel (2023) and Bleed (2024) also received widespread critical acclaim, further cementing the band’s status as innovators in contemporary improvised music. Their 2017 double album Unfold was named one of the year’s best avant-garde albums by Rolling Stone, and in 2020 the magazine ranked The Necks among the 50 greatest Australian artists.
"It is a fairly safe bet to say that no other group in the world sounds quite like The Necks...extraordinary empathy and discipline." – The Times, UK
"(The Necks) draw your attention to the music instead of the means: you never get the idea that they're playing for an hour to prove that they can do it, or to showcase a glut of ideas, but simply to give you the pleasure of focusing on music in extreme detail." – Pitchfork
"One of the greatest bands in the world." – New York Times
"Critics either have a field day, or a hard time categorising their music....Perhaps the ultimate accolade is that no other band has attempted to emulate their sound - where would they even know to begin?" – Tank Magazine, UK
"A magic act masquerading as a piano trio, this Australian group delivers long-form improvisations that shift with such patient beauty that it casts a bit of a trance. You'll seldom spend an hour that passes so quickly — and rewardingly." – Los Angeles Times
"No other performing unit can reach into a remotely similar sonic area... almost as if their music is disembodied from conventional human touch, arriving from some unknown abstract source." – New York City Jazz Record
