Cardiacs band leader, guitarists and main song writer Tim Smith suffered a stroke AND a heart attack in 2008, was never able to play or record again afterwards and died five years ago. But last week there was the unexpected news that "LSD", the album he had been working on before his health disaster, has been finished by ex Cardiacs members plus a few guests. It's even going to be a double CD.
The single "Ditzy Scene" was the last proper Cardiacs release in in 2007. In September 2020 we got to hear the only completely finished track off "LSD" called "Vermin Mangle". "Woodeneye" is a preview of the new album and has Mike Vennart, formerly of Oceansize and touring band member of Biffy Clyro on vocals.
