The Necks To Release New Album "Body" On August 14, 2018

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Australia's greatest cult band, The Necks, has a new piece to offer the world this summer, entitled "Body". Different again to all previous Necks albums (20 in total), the four richly contrasting episodes of this hour-long, mesmerizing groove are episodic, driving, dynamic, layered, celebratory, soaring, rocking-out, buoyant, sustained and perfectly-paced.

The album uses, yet again, the combination of Chris Abrahams (piano, keyboards) Tony Buck (drums, percussion, and guitar very much to the fore on this one) and Lloyd Swanton (acoustic bass) with Tim Whitten (engineer), who has recorded and/or mixed the last twelve Necks albums. The Necks hold their own with the best of them when it comes to rhythmic complexity, but they have put much of that to one side for this album in the interests of conjuring their most relentlessly driving album since Hanging Gardens.

The Necks Body will be available digitally on 8/14/2018 while the beautifully-packaged CD, distributed in North America by Redeye Worldwide, will be available in stores on 9/21/2018.
