Described as not quite avant-garde, minimalist, ambient or jazz, they’re really a genre unto themselves — proudly their own thing in a world of trendsetting and attention seeking, which is a huge part of their enduring charm. If you know The Necks, you just know. But if you’ve never heard their music, prepare for obsession. Touring to promote their new album Bleed, the Sydney-based group last played here in 2008, making this long-awaited return to Aotearoa a big deal for fans and the Festival alike.
