Bark Psychosis is a band from Waltham Forest, East London. Graham Sutton is the core of the group, supported by a dynamic roster of musicians. The line up for the seminal album “Hex” was Graham Sutton, Daniel Gish, John Ling, and Mark Simnett. Current members include Sutton, Colin Bradley, Lee Harris (formerly with Talk Talk), and others. Formed as a Napalm Death cover band when Sutton, Ling and Simnett were in their teens, they released several singles and EPs from 1988 to 1994. The band then released their first album Hex in 1994.
Embedded in lush electronic sampling and textures, and accented with electric guitars, piano, and a string quartet, they developed a singularly unique and varied sound. Simon Reynolds of The Wire coined the term post-rock to describe Hex for “using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbres and textures rather than riffs and power chords.”
Gish and Ling both dropped out as a result of the stress associated with making the album, and Simnett followed later. Graham Sutton went on to record a drum and bass record under the name Boymerang. After a ten-year hiatus, Bark Psychosis returned with “Codename: Dustsucker” in 2004, which featured an entirely new line-up, including ex-Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris in the place of Simnett.

Ahh Bark Psychosis, my favourite band of all-time. You´ve almost reached a million plays! This is kind of a big deal, and here I honestly thought you were doomed to be stuck on 800k forever. Well, I´ll just take this occasion to leave a permanent mark, right here in the old world as we tread this new era. A flood of hipsters is probably headed here this very moment, but I hope we´ll see lots of new listeners aswell who can grasp this wonderful group in a genuine way and get to experience that same life-changing magic that I have, This band is perfection personified, they truly deserve greater recognition.

Thanks. Anyway I think it's about time for a re-issue of all the Bark Psychosis releases. Be a nice way to follow up the recent Talk Talk and Disco Inferno re-issues.

I'm reluctant to listen to any albums other than Hex or Codename since those are the only two studio albums
