Bark Psychosis

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the English post-rock band Bark Psychosis (as well as some other general stuff) in (just under) twenty five minutes.

Originally, Bark Psychosis was a quartet of Graham Sutton, Daniel Gish, John Ling and Mark Simnett. This line-up (with contributions from other passing members) recorded early singles and EPs plus the debut album Hex, before gradually dissolving over the course of 1994, with Sutton moving on to his drum and bass project Boymerang and to production work. Sutton reformed the group in 2004 without any of the other previous members, as a flexible project in which he was supported by a shifting roster of guest musicians (including Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris and experimental guitarist Colin Bradley of Dual).

In 2005, Bark Psychosis released the 400 Winters EP. This featured three Dustsucker album tracks 'deconstructed and reassembled' by Colin Bradley.

Bark Psychosis has been dormant since 2005, mainly due to Sutton concentrating on his work as a producer. Pendulum Man was featured in the 2008 movie Definitely, Maybe.

In 2017 Hex was reissued on vinyl and CD on Fire Records.

I do hope you enjoy this episode.
