Album Notes & Community Reviews

A solo album from the singular frontman of the cult band Cardiacs, recorded concurrently with that band's monumental 'Sing to God'. The record is a sprawling and eclectic collection of songs showcasing Smith's unique and hyper-melodic compositional style, blending psychedelic pop, progressive rock, and folk within a distinctly homemade aesthetic. It is cherished by fans for its whimsical, complex, and deeply personal nature, offering a slightly more intimate glimpse into its creator's brilliant mind.
