Febrile and hostile, pounding and grainy, instinctive and mercurial. These are some of the words used to describe Black Carrot by the likes of Pat Fish, the Jazz Butcher, Faust's Jean-Herve Peron and the Wire magazine.
Formed in 2000, Black Carrot released their first album "Cluk" in 2003 on Moon City Musik label to great reviews culminating in a feature on BBC Radio 3's "Mixing It".
The original line-up of Oliver Betts (woodwinds, keys, vocals), Stewart Brackley (vocals, electric/double bass) and Tom Betts (drums) was augmented in 2006 with the addition of Euan Rodger on clattering, daring percussion and live samples. More recently Olly Warren's fuzzed guitar scratch has widened the scope still further.
Black Carrot have toured in Europe, played everywhere from 10th century watch towers to the ICA
