Cardiacs announce final album

2025-08-01 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 18 Comments
Influential prog punk group Cardiacs have announced their their long delayed final album, LSD, will be released on 19 September.

Due to Tim Smith's 2008 stroke and ultimate death in 2020, not all vocals were recorded by Tim for the album. As such, numerous guests including Shane Embury, Steve Morricone and more were recruited to contribute additional vocals while Oceansize/Biffy Clyro/Empire State Bastard guitarist Mike Vennart has been brought in as the new full-time vocalist.

To accompany the release of the new album, a new single "Woodeneye" was released on 1 August, the first to feature lead vocals from Vennart, although Tim Smith is still credited with some vocals and all lyrics.

1. Men In Bed
2. The May

One of very few bands that I distinctly remember making me physically ill while listening to one of their albums. Enjoy retirement, though!

OH, I just had to listen to Sing to God in a weekly album club once and it's just like.... the polar opposite of everything I like in music lol. More of a ME problem than anything else tbf.

I just find it incredibly impressive when bands return after what seems to be a lifetime and sound like they haven't lost a step. How is that even possible.

I’m sure there’s more but Alice In Chains and Deadguy are the first that come to mind for me

tbf to Cardiacs a lot of the instruments were recorded upwards of 20 years ago when Tim was still able to play, it was the vocals they couldn't get around to. When they got around to finishing the album they got friends and some famous fans of the band to chip in with extra flourishes and Mike to complete the vocals, but the meat of the album was largely done.

Words cannot describe how much I'm looking forward to this. Finally some catharsis for a post-Tim Cardiacs fan.

Recent fan. God I'm keen. I hear so much Cardiacs in so much music I've discovered through Sputnik. All of their albums sound so ahead of their time.
