I like Cardiacs - you might as well know now. About as trendy in music biz circles as catching herpes
Never has a band infuriated so many people - and yet throughout the 23 years since discovering them for myself I've kept coming back to them and they usually deliver. This track 'Come Back Clammy' http://www.cardiacs.com/resources_non_cms/Cardiacs_Come_Back_Clammy_Lammy.mp3
from the 'Guns' album (I think) is a new one on me but as thrilling as ever, mixing up punk with Zappa-style mentalness and all delivered through the Alice In Wonderland-like production filter of Tim Smith's psychotic genius. Brian Wilson, Beefheart and Aphex Twin all rolled into one.
