Every Album Ever with Mike Mansour & Alex Volz

Episode 232: Cardiacs


Listen Later

This week we're discussing every album by the completely insane Cardiacs. If you aren't familiar with this band, then you're going to need to take a seat and prepare yourself. Led by the late Tim Smith and his brother Jim, Cardiacs are a prog band like no other in existence. You just have to hear them. Their final album, LSD, was just released after almost 20 years of painstaking writing, recording, and devastating health problems. This is one of our most requested bands and one that will stay with us for years to come.
