Hex is the debut studio album by English post-rock band Bark Psychosis. It was released on February 14, 1994 by Circa Records in the United Kingdom and on 11 March 1994 by Caroline Records in the United States. The term "post-rock" was coined by music journalist Simon Reynolds in his review of the album for Mojo magazine.
Reception to Hex was generally positive. Melody Maker described Hex as "the work of a band nourished by constant evolution and is unquestionably divine" and "a gorgeously intense 50 minutes". The NME referred to the band as "nothing less than completely captivating" and called the album "a thoroughly marvelous record".
All tracks are written and produced by Bark Psychosis. "A Street Scene" is the only track on the album that was officially released as a single on January 10, 1994.
