About
Guns is the fifth studio album by Cardiac, and the final studio album recorded with band leader Tim Smith. It was recorded and mixed at Apollo 8 in London and released in 1999. After a brief period of unavailability, the album was re-pressed in August 2007. Compared to other Cardiacs release, Guns is often considered to be the band's most accessible album. A reviewer for Echoes and Dust describes the album as "Rock’n’Roll with more than a touch of the baroque" and as having "a very intimate feel." The musical style present on Guns has been compared to the music of Spratleys Jap, a side project that features Cardiacs band leader Tim Smith and Guns guest vocalist Joanne Spratley. .
