“Like watching a brilliant sunset inside a snow globe. This is a fascinating elaboration of its creators’ CVs…7/10” - DECIBEL

“Putting my finger on Crooked Necks is a difficult proposition now even after listening to Alright Is Exactly What It Isn’t a bunch of times and that is fine by me because not everything needs an explanation; so stop your complaining and questioning, pop the album on your turntable, sit back and enjoy the album for what it is, excellent.” 8/10 – SCENE POINT BLANK

“An outrageously beautiful but quietly threatening twisted dream of shoegazing ambiance, it’s deeply enveloping and truly original.” – #50 on Top 100 Albums of 2011, One Winter Only

“It’s atmospheric, post-apocalyptic post-rock coupled with shoegaze mastery is unparalleled and unmatched. If you’re not loving this album, you should be. Immediately.” –#3 Album of 2011, American Aftermath

“Odd, ambient, atmospheric, there is something slightly disconcerting about this one. it’s certainly haunting but there’s always the impression that, just out of focus, something dark is lurking just below the surface.” –#7 Album of 2011, Cack Blabbath

“CROOKED NECKS did such a great job at creating their own world, where their musical imagination rules its’ own sonic kingdom. I actually feel really happy & honored to have a chance to write about such a killer piece of audio history.” –#9 Album of 2011, Cvlt Nation

“Had Mark Kozelek discovered black metal in Red House Painters’ heyday, the outcome may have been a lot like Crooked Necks. That ghost from the car crash never found peace.” –Crustcake

“Crooked Necks create a dynamic sound mixing anxious post-punk, foreboding metal, and frozen 80s goth and new wave.” –Foxy Digitalis

“A glimmering light in the “post-black metal” genre, in which I don’t think Crooked Necks should even exist, Alright Is Exactly What It Isn’t is one of those near-perfect, introspective albums which will never get old, or leave my record player, for that matter.” – The Inarguable

Please spread the word!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Three new packages up for pre order.

We encourage the pre order process simply because limited colors ALWAYS sell out prior to the release date, and limited offers, such as the two bonus options for Crooked Necks and The Human Quena Orchestra, are extremely limited. There is also the potential of the entire pressing selling out, as in the case of TenHornedBeast in July…we are only 24 hours in and nearly halfway out of the Sun Devoured Earth box set. All three releases have a Sept 13 release date.

NEW HOSTAGE PAGEANT CASSETTES HAVE ARRIVED!

…did we mention all text on the tape shell is in Braille?
