Travel (CD)
The Necks
Amoeba Review
Uncategorizable Australian band The Necks return with an evocative new album, Travel. The band sets the mood with a mesmerizing, trance-like blend of ambient, avant-garde, and jazz. Elements of krautrock, free jazz, and exotica appear, reconstructed in The Necks’ inimitable style, like sounds drifting through distorted radio waves. Travel is a fitting name for this listening experience, as the listener moves from one soundscape to the next, new sensations and emotions emerging from the band’s powerful brew.
