Slowly but inexorably moving forward, it crosses many frontiers yet remains true to the mission and mood established in the opening stanzas of this cinematic 44 minute journey. A work able to be viewed either as a whole, or two symmetrical halves, \u003cem\u003eVertigo\u003c\/em\u003e sees The Necks once again offer an excursion in sound that reflects both the light and darkness of some preternatural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVertigo\u003c\/em\u003e will be released on 30th October in North America by Northern Spy Records.
