Singin' to God is an a cappella tribute to Cardiacs' 1996 fourth studio album, Sing to God, by the American vocal group the 180 Gs. Released on 3 July 2018,[nb 1] it received positive critical reception for its effort and faithfullness to the source material. The album was mixed by ex-Cardiacs member Mark Cawthra and was the group's second album following 2007's 180 D'Gs to the Future!, a tribute to the experimental band Negativland.[2]

Critical reception

In the magazine Art Rockin', Lee Henderson praised the album for being "full of abundant lushness, ripe with energy, tenacious arrangements, with nearly unreal accomplishment."[3] Matt Keeley of Kittysneezes said that the album was "mostly for those who are already fans of Cardiacs" and called the a cappella arrangements of the band's complex melodies "jawdropping", with the album being "a masterpiece in its own right" alongside the original.[4]
