John Parish is a British musician, songwriter and record producer, born in Yeovil, Somerset in 1959. His latest collaboration with PJ Harvey, entitled “A Woman A Man Walked By”, was released on Island records on March 31th 2009.
After playing in several bands, John Parish formed Automatic Dlamini in 1983 and for the next 9 years recorded and toured under that name. Members of Automatic Dlamini at various times included Rob Ellis, PJ Harvey, Ian Olliver, Jeremy Hogg (all of whom later performed with PJ Harvey), Giles Smith (writer/journalist) and Andy henderson (Echobelly). In 1988 Automatic Dlamini was one of the first Western European bands to tour Eastern Europe. Automatic Dlamini albums were The D is for Drum (1987), Here Catch Shouted His Father (1989- unreleased) and From a Diva to a Diver (1992). In 1986 Parish also began his career as a record producer working with UK bands including The Chesterfields, The Brilliant Corners, and The Becketts. In 1995 he co-produced PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love (1995), on which he also played guitar, drums, percussion and organ. Parish toured with Harvey during 1995. In 1996 they recorded Dance Hall At Louse Point together: John wrote and performed the music and Polly did the lyrics and vocals.

"How Animals Move" feels like post-rock with the horns of Neutral Milk Hotel washed in. I love it.

To anyone interested, I have some pictures from a recent show here. I also thought I'd mention two interesting projects: John is working on the soundtrack of a new film by Patrice Toye (director of 'Rosie') and preparing a follow-up to 'Dance Hall At Louse Point' with PJ Harvey. I'm really looking forward to both.
