Bark Psychosis is an influential British band renowned for their pioneering role in the post-rock genre. Formed in East London in 1986 by Graham Sutton, Daniel Gish, John Ling, and Mark Simnett, the group became known for their experimental approach to music, which fused elements of ambient, jazz, and electronica with a rock foundation. Their sound is characterized by a layered, atmospheric quality that often eschews traditional song structures in favor of more textural and mood-driven compositions.
The band's seminal album "Hex," released in 1994, was celebrated by critics for its innovative sound and is frequently cited as one of the foundational works of post-rock. Subsequent releases like "Codename: Dustsucker" (2004) and the singles "A Street Scene" and "Blue" further solidified their stature as trailblazers. While the band has gone through periods of hiatus and lineup changes, their influence remains significant, with each release, including the remastered version of "SCUM" in 2023, keenly anticipated by a devoted fan base that cherishes Bark Psychosis for their ongoing contributions to the evolution of avant-garde music.
