Beyond the often quoted 'Salvation Army band playing carousel punk in a force ten gale' type of thing, there are a multitude of influences that suffused Tim's style - prog and ROI, new wave, traditional British and early music composers, twelve-tone music, and so on.

amazing! who's in the band??
― frogbs, Friday, 3 May 2024 21:59 (two months ago) link
Bic, Jim, Baba, Jon, Jo but not sure about the rest, they had additional perc, sax and keys. Also, Mark Cawthra sang occasionally and maybe Tiny from Ultrasound.

Hearing 'Anything I Can't Eat' really brought it all back to me, seeing those HB&EB songs played live, they always sounded so brilliant, loads better than the recorded counterparts (apart from March and Helen & Heaven)

It seems to be a very active time for you. What are the plans for the future? Will "LSD", the lost Cardiacs album, ever be released? (started recording in 2008 and never finished due to Tim's illness)Jim: LSD? We have completed all the recordings. Many think that it was an almost completely completed project but it wasn't. There was still a lot to work on and we brought it to a final form. It's ready for the mixing phase, we're working slowly but I think it will be ready next year. All the voices were still missing, we recorded them but I can't tell you who sang yet.Jon: Jim won't say it, but he's been particularly active on this project from a studio work perspective. He was the key elementJo: Now you know too much, we'll have to kill you (laughs)

The singing issue is a tough one, Jon probably the best suited. I'd like to hear Sharon, Craig, Bill, Richard L, Jon or maybe even Bic, but as glorious as the gigs were and it was amazing to see people like Cawthra, the singing was often not great. Kav co-wrote a fair chunk of the record so he might be on it.

Never listened to Cardiacs til this past week. Not what I would have guessed somehow, it’s sorta like giant on-stage choral musical theater feeling. My 20yr old heard a little HBEB w me and said “it’s a lot of things but it’s a bit like oingo boingo.” i’m sure i looked confused, but after considering it— yeah.

literally the two faces of 'how to make breakup music' - craig going full 'the sea shall claim the land' mope-out, and then this, lol
― imago, Wednesday, 26 June 2024 09:52 (one week ago) link
both of these songs are great. is this the "solo album" spoken about here is that something different (always kind of hard to acertain the extent of james larcombe's role in the tonne of bands he's involved in - seems more as a player and arranger or other people's material?)

i'm a bit parasocially sad if i'm understanding the context correctly though :(

You managed to not pick that up from Ark, the album with the most just-divorced energy maybe ever, lol
― imago, Thursday, 27 June 2024 08:16 (six days ago) link
i've love his music but i must admit it's not really something where i pay any attention to the words as anything more than a mood... i just assume he's always extolling the virtues of some kind of antediluvian Angleterre landscape or that it's a setting of a romantic poet doing the same thing :)
*looks at the song titles and listens to the first 20 seconds and Ark* oh...
― linee, Thursday, 27 June 2024 08:26 (six days ago) link
You can sort of understand the whole thing from comparing that album to this new song, as I say. Or at least, you can damn well tell who required it be the case

Anyway, this is a really lovely interview, thanks!

I was asking James about the record yesterday and it was apparently made quite a while back, so much so that he had completely forgotten that he sung on the b-side.
― Maresn3st, Thursday, 27 June 2024 09:39 (six days ago) link
Apparently there's an NSRO coming soon too. Hopefully Craig's got a bit of his pep back (mind you, I A Moon was quite a downbeat album and that worked out pretty well)
― imago, Thursday, 27 June 2024 10:09 (six days ago) link
I think he's pretty consistent, the guitar instrumentals record and all the little things EPs and whatnot, that he was making and releasing post-lockdown have been great, still listen to Ark all the time.
― Maresn3st, Thursday, 27 June 2024 11:35 (six days ago) link
Oh, quite a lot of his moon stuff was amazing yeah
― imago, Thursday, 27 June 2024 12:00 (six days ago) link
I just mean I hope he's a bit happier!
