Bark Psychosis are a rock band from London .

history

It was founded in 1986 and dissolved again in the mid-1990s. The reasons for the breakup are usually the band's commercial unsuccessfulness and the often lacking interest of the live audience. In 2004, however, a studio album with new material was surprisingly released for many, although it was mainly created by only one of the original members, Graham Sutton .

Their first single, All Different Things , was released in 1989, the first album (and the only one with original line-up), Hex , 1994. This is little known, but is seen by some critics as a milestone in recent rock history . The album /// Codename: Dustsucker , released in 2004, is musically linked to the earlier work, but differs from it both in expression and in the musical means chosen.

Graham Sutton also walked solo in the drum and bass area in the late 1990s . In 1997 he released the album Balance of the Force on Regal Recordings under the pseudonym Boymerang , but also made a name for himself as a remixer or producer of tracks on labels such as Prototype Recordings before returning to his musical origins.

style

Bark Psychosis are typical representatives of post-rock . The band integrated the element of silence into their music without giving up the rock category entirely. The music gains a kind of spatiality , so that at times the impression arises that the music “lies” in front of the listener like a carpet (in contrast to the more vertical “Wall of Sound” ). As instruments, Bark Psychosis use both conventional rock instruments and electronics .
