Unfold (The Necks album)

Unfold is an album by Australian improvised music trio The Necks first released on the Ideologic Organ label in 2017 as a double LP and download.

What’s more, there’s no intended sequence for these sides, meaning you could start with the hectic, gamelan-like rumble of “Timepiece” or end there, a move that makes the entire experience feel like a ceaseless fever dream.

[4] In The Quietus Joseph Burnett noted "Unfold displays The Necks at their jazziest and most experimental, almost paradoxically given that they have less room to experiment on four shorter pieces than on the long single ones they’ve accustomed us to.

[7] Tiny Mix Tapes' Max L. Feldman called it "a challenging but eerily beautiful free-improv record doubling up as a critique of the album-form"[5] Daniel Sylvester reviewed the album for Exclaim!

explaining "The Necks don't exactly break new ground with Unfold, but it's refreshing nonetheless to see that they're also not regressing — a small miracle for any band 30 years into their career".
