Make no mistake, Austin *does* have an avant-jazz/improv music scene that’s just not as well known outside of town. With more records like ‘Tau Ceti’ from Lisa Cameron, Tom Carter and Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, that should all change.

Every Necks album is a plot twist in a long-running musical riddle, and ‘Three’ keeps the story very much alive for one of the most singular bands in contemporary music.
