Bark Psychosis
Bark Psychosis were an English post-rock band from London which was formed in 1986. They were led by Graham Sutton who was the sole constant member of the project. They were one of the bands that the British music journalist Simon Reynolds cited when coining "post-rock" as a musical style in 1994, and are thus considered one of the key bands defining the genre.
In its original form, the group 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 seminal 1994 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 Bark Psychosis 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).
Due to Sutton's renewed focus on production work, Bark Psychosis have been inactive since 2005, with no announcements of a final breakup or future plans. While active, the band did not find much success critically or commercially, remaining in obscurity for decades, with only a handful of verified live recordings in existence. However, Bark Psychosis have since cultivated a devout cult following, as well as retrospective critical acclaim.
