Bark Psychosis - Absent Friend

[CrackersCrackEasily]

Youtube actually recommended something worth listening to.

[oxenincident]

This is unbelievable. I think they are right up there with Blue Nile and Talk Talk (SOE and Laughing Stock). This is atmospheric/emotionality to a whole different level. It's the type of music that makes me wonder how everyone doesn't "get it". You find a band like this and it's like finding a $20 bill on the sidewalk- you don't expect it, it makes your heart jingle and you never get over that sudden burst of euphoria. You want to tell people about it, but sadly, many won't appreciate it...

[Jacqu3z]

This is not music. It's something more, something undefinable. And it should stay that way. Real music isn't music.

[FriendOwI]

@xStevieHurricanex So satisfied, leave without a trace You taught me doubt, still you do it again And it's high, high time I found myself on the road Educate myself 'til it hurts And it's high, high time I satisfy what it takes It all just seams so differently That's the biggest joke of all You know it's the biggest joke of all And it's high time I recognized To do it again, it's crawling outside my walls I can't forget where I've been I can't tell you anything at all

[Kudell46and2]

This is the best song.

[PromWolf]

@Kudell46and2 I agree.

[GlitcHead]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. If this song was a girl I would ask her out and of course she wouldn't even dignify that with an answer, she'd just laugh. So I send her a friend request on Facebook but she ignores it. But score, her profile is public so I can still ogle her pictures and Photoshop us holding us holding hands and what our kids would look like. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, incredible song.

[LoKimLinProject]

@GlitcHead HAHAHAHAHA

[lovewithanapparition]

@GlitcHead I too, stalk songs that I enjoy listening to.

I stand outside Stairway to Heaven's window every night.

[grovegreener]

Perfect night music

[mario6279]

does anybody got any recomendations on artists that sound like these guys?

[MilkOfPoppiesRed]

@mario6279 Ohbijou, timber timbre

[dallas2denton]

@mario6279 god is an astonaut and caspian, they are a little more agressive in some songs but also amazing

[mario6279]

@dallas2denton thanks for the recomendations they were sick

[dallas2denton]

@mario6279 welcome :)

[Anarchitect]

@mario6279 Check out the second half of Brian Eno's Before and After Science (By This River, Julie With, Through Hollow Lands). Also check out Epic45, there's some good stuff of theirs on Youtube.

[ConnorM1418]

This really makes me miss the UK. Florida is the worst state to possibly live in.

[zuco89e]

nice one!

[YoungDirtyCwalk]

Completely different from my usual stuff...

but DAMN! This is really nice!

[MrMarkHand]

Music from the outer regions.. timeless and beautiful.

[dallas2denton]

thumbs up if your left hand is touching your face

[khaeomzhyu]

This song is perfection. I remember listening to this with an old "friend" at the wee hours of the night, just driving and lounging around the city, the feeling brought by it was amazing,

[marsvoltian]

The people that listen to this kind of music are a different breed. Those two 'highest rated' comments are inspiring. You wont find that kind of expression in many places on the internet. Props to all of you post-rock disciples 

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

I must say if 50,000+ people like this

please, please..listen to their other songs from other albums..

they will also blow your mind...I promise as a dedicated Bark Psychosis fan to other Bark Psychosis fans

[fotochopez]

Esta cancion la tengo taladrada en la cabeza!

[redshaftedflicker]

One of the few bands that still completely blow my mind.

[ninahorses]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[HoleshotmotoTV]

MIN. 3.40  delirio musicale....adorabili

[ant1m0ny]

This music only fuels my longing for more bark psychosis :`(

wawaaaaaaaaaah

[gurningape]

Very fitting video, good work.

[heroinhabit]

wow i just clicked this video because the name sounded cool. this is amazing.

[biglaity]

后摇鼻祖

magnificent

[leddzepper]

they fucking rock

[crlkllrbrns]

@leddzepper they fucking post-rock!

[aiammaiaaiam]

So amazing to find i am not their only fan, i love the internet

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Love the reverb in this at the beginning

[russellstall]

@PhillipThunderGrunge

me too but i think its reverb with delay and modulation, not sure tho

[jcabb1]

Talk Talk's Laughing Stock album also puts me in the same mood....pure bliss...

[Magnoodles]

Their 2004 lineup included former Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris, coincidentally...

[lightthiscity11]

i found myself walking the grounds of my college campus one cool sunday evening, puffing on my favorite cigarillos with Bark Psychosis in my ears. I started my trek at 7 and didn't return home 'til 11.. one of the most reflective, calming and beautiful time frames of my life.

[livershot]

Hell yeah Im doin that

[MonMccool123]

I fall asleep to this album almost ever night.

[wetbedsheet]

great comment, dark108x. i bet that was incredible!

[Caligula138]

SHIT! I almost forgot about these guys!

[IanCutris]

i love this song!!!

[Laampjj]

this song sounds like pure emotion

[OkWin32]

I just love this band!

Amazing...

[tripepitoch]

epiphonic music

thats the only way i can describe

you listen...

and comes the epiphony

...lol

[dylancillo]

Verdaderamente el grupo más infravalorado de los 90s, enorme canción y grandfioso grupo

Un saludo desde mex!

[skeyugen]

grandiosi...li adoro

[fredserpente]

musica da collasso ... stupenda ... ascoltarlo in vasca da bagno dopo un cannone potrebbe essere fatale

[GuglioSileKta]

grande! ...potrebbe essere FATALE!

[Kohsomusto]

When I first got into them, our family was going on a holiday in Scotland. On the way up we stayed overnight at a B&B in Berwick-upon-Tweed; I stayed up all night sitting in the bay-window, listening to this album on my walkman, watching the occasional car go past, and an endless field of waving cereal crops beyond. For me this is the the absolute essence (along with Laika - Sounds of the Satellites) of night music

[dark108x]

Nice story! I first properly listened to this LP biking home in the midsummer sunrise from in Amsterdam. Watching the sun rising and reflecting over the canals, and observing the occasional late night raver and delivery men with Hex on the headphones was too gorgeous an experience for words.

[portabletiger]

Wonderfully done! The images match the song perfectly!

Every time I listen to Bark Psychosis I feel like I'm falling in love for the first time again.

[agentoranges]

this song melts my soul. this is pretty much what i visualize whenever i hear it. night time is the right time.

[damatogianluca]

HEX votato da rockerilla miglior album del 1994. lo ascolto e mi emoziona come se fosse sempre la prima volta

[KACIARO]

BELLISSIMO SEMPRE INFATTI

[Basketballerke]

Si Señor i señorita

[andrearot]

Rolling Stone invece mi pare avesse votato un Album dei Morphine il migliore del '94...boh, è una chicca eh, non una presunta correzione. :)

li sto scoprendo da poco i bark psychosis...sembrano proprio belli. mi consigliate HEX per iniziare?

[bark75]

Per iniziare e per finire...

[andrearot]

sai che invece sentendo codename, ho cambiato idea? preferisco piu' quest'ultimo..non so come mai!

ma tutt'e due si contendono il podio.. :P

[Panchorum]

Bellissimo... ha un curiosissimo sapore di jazz sperimentale!

[dipsomane]

YES, .3! HEX is a MASTERPIECE! che disco stupendo...

[Raztro]

it sure is!

[portabletiger]

This video perfectly captures this song. Well done!

[PointThree]

Why is it that true art, like this, often gets overlooked... It just boggles my mind when I hear the shit on MTV, and then listen to this. Hex is a masterpeice.

[honeypower]

I have a hard time understanding it too PointThree, but good music will always stand the test of time regardless of exposure. The album is just as vital and interesting as it was in the early 90s, you definately can't say the same for 95% of the music that appears on MTV.

[adrianscally]

Just heard 'Hex' the other day - fantastic - best smokin' album I've heard in YEARS. I can't believe they started out as a Napalm Death tribute band.

[archDeluxxe]

amazing guitar sound. Every time i hear this song i always think the bassline is gonna fall out of time... but it never does of course. Truly fantastic song.

[reelreignfilms]

seen these guys in a theatre in Glasgow in 94. Only a handful of people witnessed the beauty and ferocity. If i had the money i'd post a copy of HEX through everyones door. we should kill all the demons who are sent here to lower the standards. Put them in one place and let the mighty MOGWAI crush them with some low frequency resonance. Tesla on base. Peace.

[jampot64]

Beautiful song , from a great album (Hex)

[Endoloc]

the word is junk

[lovelyludwig]

taking into consideration this band is from the uk, the pronunciation of the word "joke" may sound a bit off to American ears. if that train of thought doesn't help though, perhaps COMMON SENSE might point you in the right direction. Bark Psychosis is killer by the way.

[douwei888]

my favourate western song

[nicolasmetensis]

Thank you very much for posting that video. Do you know if there are some recordings of concerts of Bark Psychosis ? I would be interested to know them, especially if Lee Harris was playing with them. Thanks.

[immortalayesha]

And that's the biggest junk of all.

What a killer song!!

[mogoise]

it's 'joke'

'and that's the biggest joke of all'

[immortalayesha]

oh im so deaf

cheers

[bark75]

Right

[dreamer12247]

endlessly relaxing. Thanks! x

[mogoise]

i have been a fan of BP for a while now and I am very pleased with this. It seems a lot of people don't even know who they are. I can't find anything about them hardly and am tempted to make a video to my favorite song. In fact, it's Big Shot.

very good job on the vid and I applaud you for your taste in this beautiful post-rock band. I adore you, whoever you are!

[EnForwardslashAy]

fantastic video for this track... just recently got into barlk pyschosis via the jam soundtrack.... is it your video ...i am assumin git is...?

nice collection

[Basketballerke]

It's my video yes

[EnForwardslashAy]

cool.... what is it filmed on?

[Basketballerke]

Just some Canon homevideo camera, nothing special really.

[agentoranges]

beautiful.

[bleuroo]

For once, I'm speechless.

Especially from about 4:10 onwards.

[h2opoloattacker]

Sublime stuff.

[devilsangel479]

Love that guitar.

[cloudbuster66]

im a fan of talk talk was told to listen to this and i like

[Noonday100]

Blimey. Brings back memories. I used to live in Leyton near where the Hex cover album photo was taken.

[khaeomzhyu]

I forgot how beautiful this song is. Wow.

[grovegreener]

well done, thanks

[cardigan3000]

I watched this again an i cried - please never remove it.

[SkyratsvsSeachickens]

Thanks for posting.

This lot really were ahead of their time. Wonderful.

[cardigan3000]

Pure magic.

[DrJme]

such a beautiful song
