The 1984 Listening Post - The Cardiacs - The Seaside

The Cardiacs - The Seaside


#17
January 1984
The Cardiacs
The Seaside
4.5 out of 5

Highlights:
Jibber and Twitch
A Wooden Fish on Wheels
Ice a Spot and a Dot on the Dog

This band created it’s own record label to release their own music. I guess they were ahead of their time that way. 
What in the fresh hell is this? How have I not heard this before? This is a punk-ska carnival by insane people who have never met a time signature they couldn’t fuck with.
If the Residents were a ska band they would sound like this. If Yes was really jacked on something and woke up one day, forced at gun point to join the original Adam and the Ants to record Dirk Wears White Sox, mutinied against Adam (hey, who didn’t?) and turned all his music into ska, that’s this album.
