At lytte til The Necks er som at se en bølge tage form. Først er havet roligt, men så begynder krusningerne at forme sig på vandoverfladen. Snart bliver bevægelserne voldsommere, bølgen knækker og så skyller den ind over dig. Bagefter er alt igen roligt. Den australske trio The Necks veksler udtryksmæssigt mellem det hypnotisk repeterende, det trancelignende musikalske og det hårdkogt eksplosive. Ofte er kompositionerne minimale, men lange, og én komposition kan udvikle sig over mangfoldige lydflader. Det er opskriften på samtlige af The Necks plader og koncerter, men alligevel føles hver enkelt forskellig fra hinanden. Derfor The Necks er et af de bands, man kan besøge igen og igen. Og igen og igen.
The Necks består af Chris Abrahams på klaver, Tony Buck på trommer og Lloyd Swanton på bas. Til sammen har udgivet 18 album og skabt noget af et kultband, der fusionerer eksperimenterende jazz med minimalisme, drone, avantgarde, ambient og krautrock. Det har fået kritikere til at sammenligne dem med navne som Faust og Can, mens andre har fundet paralleller til La Monte Young, Tony Conrad og Philip Glass. Men i sidste ende er The Necks et band helt uden for kategori. Og et band, der er kendt for at bruge et koncertsteds akustiske særkende og rumklang til at skabe en forbindelse til et højere plan. Med andre ord bliver det en helt særlig oplevelse, når trioen fylder Christians Kirkes storslåede rum til april.
Sagt om The Necks:
"...Entirely new and entirely now... They produce a post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything sonic experience that has few parallels or rivals. 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
"Absolutely riveting...how three musicians can sound like eighteen is a mystery... extraordinary magical sounds emerged from the ensemble...the way The Necks do this with acoustic instruments is nothing short of miraculous." – Financial Times

In English:
Look forward to a spectacular evening in Christians Kirke with the Australian cult band The Necks. Their hypnotic sonic landscapes merge acoustic jazz, minimalism, and expressive avant-garde.
Listening to The Necks is like watching a wave take shape. First the sea is calm, but then little ripples begin to form on the surface. Soon the movements grow more forceful, the wave breaks, and then it rolls over you. Afterwards, everything is calm again. The Australian trio The Necks shift expressively between hypnotic repetition, trance-like musical passages, and hard-boiled explosiveness. Their compositions are often minimal yet extended, and a single piece can unfold across countless layers of sound. That is the formula behind all of The Necks’ albums and concerts, yet each one still feels different. Which is why The Necks is a band you can return to again and again. And again and again.
The Necks consists of Chris Abrahams on piano, Tony Buck on drums, and Lloyd Swanton on bass. Together they have released 18 albums and created something of a cult band that fuses experimental jazz with minimalism, drone, avant-garde, ambient, and krautrock. Critics have compared them to names like Faust and Can, while others have drawn parallels to La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, and Philip Glass. But in the end, The Necks are a band that defies categorization – one known for using the acoustic character and reverberation of each venue to forge a connection to a higher plane. In other words, it will be a truly special experience when the trio fills the magnificent space of Christians Kirke this April.
