Guns

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.
