Guns (Cardiacs album)

Guns is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Cardiacs. It was recorded and mixed at Apollo 8 in London and released on 21 June 1999. Guns was recorded by the four piece lineup of Cardiacs' main creative force Tim Smith, Jon Poole (guitars), Bob Leith (drums) and Jim Smith (bass), following the double album Sing to God four years earlier, with additional vocalists, horn and string players added to the album. The album's kitsch cover of a stormy sky with two mirror image floating, grinning dog heads, and its title both play into the Dada-esque love of absurdity from Tim Smith.
