probably do a new album in 15 years.
In the final analysis I prefer Dustsucker to Hex.

I will have to agree with akm. Dustsucker ultimately wins it over Hex, but both are astonishing.

Hex over dustsucker or Dustsucker over Hex? too hard to imagine at this time

terrific record and band. are "they" still doing stuff?

Friendly dude, he's on Facebook.

i didn't like dustsucker at all. i miss the spaces in between. he's too skilled as a producer now, better when he didn't know anything at all.
― keythkeythkeyth, Monday, 28 September 2009 03:53 (fourteen years ago) link
wow, i didn't realise he did all those rough trade records, i should pay more attention

Haha yes they did. I think I have it around somewhere...
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 September 2009 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Hex feels so right, I almost wish it was their only release.
― djh, Monday, 28 September 2009 18:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, but then you'd have no Tooled Up, no Blue, no Dustsucker. All awesome. I think I prefer Dustsucker to Hex these days; bits of Hex are stratospherically beautiful, but it feels a little gauche, a little too inthrall to influences, whereas I really don't know of anything else that does the same job as Dustsucker.

And also no Scum, which always blows me away.

I had to revive this thread to brag a little: I found the "Nothing Feels"/"I Know" 12" in a rekkid shop in Brooklyn this past weekend, basically untouched. I have never ever seen anything from Bark Psychosis on vinyl over here, so that was exciting. I love the little chuckle Graham Sutton lets out at the end of "I Know"... Beautiful, timeless stuff.
― Clarke B., Monday, 25 July 2011 22:15 (twelve years ago) link
That's a good find, Clarke! Never seen that 12" in real life.
Miss these guys/this guy, in the Bark Psychosis imprint... Something sure is missing after 'Dustsucker', in today's music. Feels like there just is this gap that only BP could fill.

totally know what you mean. they need to put out a new record.

He's too busy producing British Sea Power and the Delays.
― Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
if you are hankering after some more BP you should try & track down the 'Yahweh' LP and 'Road Movie' 10" by Shiva Affect, a short-lived early 90s band produced by Sutton

― zappi, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
I've got an affection for BSP, and only just now, through Elvis Telecom, found out he produces them!
Will search out Shiva Affect, thanks zappi!
― I for one am (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:32 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, thanks zappi... I feel like I've been seeing a lot more early '90s vinyl popping up used in my weekly-ish expeditions, which is fantastic.
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 26 July 2011 02:05 (twelve years ago) link
Blood Rush is fantastic! Somehow it manages to perfectly conjure the headtrip of being on mushrooms.
― Poliopolice, Thursday, 31 May 2012 03:51 (twelve years ago) link
Blood Rush? What is that? Is there a new BP album?

yep. can't believe it's been 8 years since dustsucker, thread inspired a listen, i have to be in the right mood for his voice, otherwise perfect album
― Crackle Box, Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:42 (twelve years ago) link
Blood Rush is off one of the very early pre-Hex EPs.
― Sick Mouthy (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 31 May 2012 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
It's also on Independency, which for my money is still my favourite BP disc.
― Boy Georbison (EDB), Thursday, 31 May 2012 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
i first got into bark psychosis after reading one of nick's reviews, before i found ILX! anyway, thanks for that, BP are great. :)

Great album. I listened to Hex the other day, such a wonderful album. As close to a perfect homage to late Talk Talk as it comes. I worked my way through the singles and EP's a while back as well. I totally forgot how entrancing 'Scum' is.
Dustsucker is great as well. I wonder if there will ever be another Bark Psychosis release. I guess anything is possible after 'm b v'.
― Internet Alan, Sunday, 3 February 2013 13:21 (eleven years ago) link
There’s a new vinyl pressing of Hex around at the moment, not sure if it is legit or not.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 9 February 2013 10:11 (eleven years ago) link
Graham's apparently working on new BP stuff. Expect it in 2014. Seriously.

Nick, do you happen to know if he's still in Argentina?
― ジー・ニュー・マイ・ブラッディー・バレンタイン・リッコード・カインダー・ブローズ (MaresNest), Saturday, 9 February 2013 19:16 (eleven years ago) link
Graham emailed me yesterday; the new Hex vinyl is nothing to do with him and is just a needle drop from the CD, so avoid.
Dunno if he's in Argentina, but he's been working on a third These New Puritans album which he's very excited about.
― they all are afflicted with a sickness of existence (Scik Mouthy), Sunday, 10 February 2013 07:56 (eleven years ago) link
I thought that may be the case, so many of these are at the moment. Disappointing.
― Chewshabadoo, Sunday, 10 February 2013 12:33 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I'd expected as much from that recent issue of 'Hex'. A shame because my original copy is a bit noisy so I'd be up for replacing it.

Long piece on Hex coming up from Wyndham Wallace at the Quietus, apparently.

Just ordered Hex reissue on vinyl. Anyone know if the Sleuth pressing is decent?
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
I believe Graham warned people off a reissue recently as it had nothing to do with him, I'm afraid. Dunno if it's that one though.

loved reading that article.if wyndham is a lurker, then can i just say thanks.it was a great read.i have the cd issue of hex, and the o.rang album, but never really understood the whole groove ..at times, the quietus really is the best.
― mark e, Friday, 15 August 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that was an excellent article. I only got Hex a couple of years ago and I still didn't really know anything about the backstory, so it was really interesting.
