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.

TICKETS SALE STARTS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20 AT 11 AM

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 – who was hailed as “the Greatest Trio on Earth” in The New York Times Magazine – 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.

Said about 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
