MY PLAYLIST OF THE WEEK





The Necks :
I just discovered this Australian band live and they were very impressive.
Their albums are usually one track long that lasts for an hour or so. A mix of jazz/rock/classical/electronics. Piano, Bass, Drums : a trio that plays only improvised music defying genres.
Recommended.
