Tim Smith (1961-2020) was the singer, guitarist and principal songwriter for underground British eccentrics, Cardiacs. Tim's music is equal parts punk, prog, psychedelia and downright disturbing noise. He was also a member of The Sea Nymphs with ex-Cardiacs William D. Drake and Sarah Smith, and recorded an album with Spratleys Japs, a peculiar bunch of characters he found in the woods. On 25 June 2008, Smith had a heart attack after attending a gig by My Bloody Valentine. As an outcome of his injuries and subsequent condition, Smith was denied movement and speech, prompting him to retire from live performances. Cardiacs went on an indefinite hiatus following his hospitalisation, leaving the "LSD" album unfinished. Smith died on the evening of 21 July 2020 at the age of 59, following another heart attack. « hide |
