This section will soon feature a downloadable document containing a large number of press quotes, but for the time being, here is a selection:

"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 (UK)

"At around the 100-year point in jazz's evolution, conjuring new spirits out of old spells is a difficult mojo to work. But people are doing it - a case in point is The Necks" JAZZ TIMES (USA)

"I think the new music I would find it hardest to do without, fifty years after Kind of Blue, is that produced by The Necks... A piano trio, but not like any other piano trio you have heard... There is a great deal of joy in The Necks' music, and it is the more rewarding for being hard-won... Kind of Blue's legacy is apparent in the ease with which The Necks exploit the spaces that were opened up for them all those years ago: spaces in harmony, rhythm and melody, but also spaces in the mind" RICHARD WILLIAMS - THE BLUE MOMENT: MILES DAVIS' KIND OF BLUE AND THE REMAKING OF MODERN MUSIC

"...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 (UK)

(Pure Scenius) "This was selfless art, with the participants always servants of the musical thread... Australia's inventors of acoustic, jazz-inflected minimalism, The Necks. Beforehand there seemed a danger of the Necks' unique and complete conception being ravaged by any interlopers. But Eno was astute enough to suggest musical contexts in which The Necks could do what they do - and arguably be the music's linchpin - while being embellished with flawless empathy" SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"One of the greatest bands in the world" NEW YORK TIMES

"(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

"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)

"Over and over I was caught up in the constant repetition of tonal figures, found myself focussing on the tiniest alterations, without noticing that I had been surrounded by a completely new motif... Like a pearl necklace, threaded together piece by piece, only becoming a piece of jewelry when the end of the string is reached" WESER KURIER (BREMEN, GERMANY)

"Tonal, accessible, and yet profoundly challenging... The Necks are singular... Yielding things no one else does" THE WIRE

"The three have developed their own unique, unmistakable language. The Necks are, above all, masters of dynamics. One only ever really understands the changes in hindsight" NEUR ZURCHER ZEITUNG (ZURICH, SWITZERLAND)

"A performance by The Necks is a kind of religious experience"  THE AUSTRALIAN

"Ecstacy in slow motion... magically euphoric... The Necks' appearance was less a traditional concert than a fascinating opportunity to participate in the pulsating genesis of organic tones and sounds" WESER KURIER (BREMEN, GERMANY)

"The Necks slow the world down... A unique musical experience" BIRMINGHAM POST (UK)
