Drive By is the eleventh album by Australian improvised music trio The Necks (their seventh excluding live and soundtrack albums).

The album features a single hour-long track, titled "Drive By", performed by Chris Abrahams, Lloyd Swanton and Tony Buck.

Reception

The Guardian review likened the album to "an hour-long ride through William Gibson territory in a sleek limo, blurred shapes barely visible through the tinted windows" and that The Necks "have created a method of performing that transcends style while retaining meaning - in the most stylish way possible". ^[4] The album won the ARIA Music Awards Best Jazz album in 2004.
