The cult-beloved British band Cardiacs released Guns, their most recent album, in 1999. For a very, very long time, they’ve been planning a new double LP called LSD. The lead single was supposed to be “Ditzy Scene,” which came out back in 2007. In 2008, though, the release was delayed because frontman Tim Smith suffered a cardiac arrest and stroke. Smith passed away in 2020 at the age of 59. In the wake of his passing, Caridacs released another LSD song, “Vermin Mangle.” Tim Smith’s brother and bandmate Jim later said that Cardiacs kept working on LSD after Tim’s illness and death. The album is apparently coming out this fall, and another single is out now.
