An almost incomprehensibly great final salute to Tim Smith who was damaged by a stroke when he started this record in 2007. The incredible effort by the band to complete this is not just your standard posthumous album. It’s a genuine masterpiece. How they will do this in March 2026 (I have tickets) will be an incredible thing to see.. The loyal and fanatical fan-base have of course lost their minds over this since it was released fully on the 19th September.
Arriving 26 years since Cardiacs’ last studio album and five years since the death of singer and principal songwriter Tim Smith, the circumstances behind LSD’s completion mark it apart from most other posthumous releases.
