ギター/ヴォーカル担当のGraham Sutton（グラハム・サットン）を中心に、86年に東ロンドンで結成されたグループBark Psychosis（バーク・サイコシス）の初作。空間性を重視したダウントーンなバンド・アンサンブルで、David Sylvian〜Talk Talk/Malk Holis〜Dif Juz系統の物憂げなインテリジェンスを90年代にアップデート。蒼白い炎熱を内に秘め、夢想的なアンビエンスと緊張感を並存させた作風は、後にベッドルーム音響派やポスト・ハードコア勢を交え隆盛するポストロックやスロウコアの雛形に。2012年にスペインのViNiLiSSSiMOによりヴァイナルでリイシュー。

Bark Psychosis gave the world Post-Rock. Formed in 1986, when the members were about only 14, they took from experimental innovators such as Sonic Youth and Joy Division, they soon created a revolution with their ambient soundscapes and textured rock, spawning countless bands of similar nature. The band at this time was bassist John Ling, drummer Mark Simnott and vocalist Graham Sutton. "Clawhammer" was soon released in 1988. Their first single was released in 1989; "All Different Things", and then "Nothing Feels in 1990". Soon after picking up former DISCO INFERNO keyboardist Daniel Gish, the Manman EP was released, each release showing huge growth in their sound. "Scum" was soon released in 1992, soon followed by the revolutionary "Hex", where post-rock was founded. Soon after, the band released a final single and then broke up in 1997, compilations following. - www.progarchives.com
