Cardiacs – “Guns” (Released 16th May 2025)

Description

//The Alphabet Business Concern//

£26.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition Clear Aqua Marine Coloured Vinyl

The final studio album recorded by Tim Smith at his Apollo 8 studio, ‘Guns’ is viewed by some as the most accessible of all the Cardiacs’ albums.

Scratch lightly beneath that surface for some of the most intricate arrangements and densest atmospheres of any of their previous work. Featuring the ‘Sing to God’ line-up, Tim Smith, Jim Smith, Jon Poole and Bob Leith with guest vocalists, Sarah Smith (ex-Cardiacs), Sharron Fortnam (Kugelschreiber) and Jo Spratley (Spratleys), it is a classic, full-on Cardiacs ride from start to finish.
