"Kira describes the prodrome, the beginning phase of a migraine, as “this heavy anxiety, the start of an awful journey that you have no choice but to follow. You’re slowly creeping towards something you know is coming, a pain that you can’t escape.” Staying true to its inspiration and namesake, Prodrome is built around a thematic core of anxiety, helplessness and inevitability." -Kit Castagne, Sound of Boston
"Trauma doesn’t happen in a moment; it’s the nebulous space that follows of processing, living, coping, and surviving. ‘Baited,’ the new video release from Neck, basks in that space. It’s a jarring, vivid depiction of uncertainty, terror, intrigue, and embrasure." -Kara Kokinos, Allston Pudding
"Hand It Over is the debut of Boston-based duo Neck. Incorporating elements of alternative folk and electronic music, Neck breathes a crisp air of new life into the respective styles. In addition to effortless vocal control throughout the EP, Kira McSpice demonstrates a creative approach to guitar-driven composition, embellished by Bailey Hein’s contrapuntal bass melodies and complementary synthesizer work. The group makes potent yet tasteful use of the oft-forgotten Suzuki Omnichord as well as ornately placed field recordings." -JASS
