From 'Left Banke Too' (1968). 'Dark Is The Bark', co-written by all the band members, is a rare forgotten gem, a slow, broody, hypnotic folksy ballad, very similar in atmosphere to Simon & Garfunkel's re-working of 'Scarborough Fair', but with a much more elaborate arrangement; oh, and very much reminiscent of Smile-era Beach Boys as well, of course. The intertwining vocal harmonies in the chorus somehow manage to weave themselves into a catchy, well-structured melody.

A beautiful song, great poetry and suggested imagery, and melody with a very hypnotic and sophisticated feel. Perfect Left Banke! The photo-collage looks great. Thanks so much!
