Australian group The Necks return this summer, adding to their already epic discography of 20 albums, with the new release on Northern Spy titled Body. At just under an hour long, the release comprises four episodes within one track, and has Chris Abrahams on keys, Tony Buck on percussion and guitar, and Lloyd Swanton on bass. The album's engineer Tim Whitten was responsible for recording and mixing the group's last twelve albums.

Body is released digitally on 14 August, and in CD format on 21 September. The band will tour in October, with gigs in The Hague Paard (13), Heidelberg Kulturhaus Karlstorbahnhof (17), and London Cafe Oto (22).
