Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

'The Kid's Back' Kid Carpet that is and that's the title of this here EP. It's cheeky, quirky experimental pop /hip hop/ funk. 'Make It Look Good' reminds me a little of the Happy Mondays without the mountains of drugs. The title track has a heavy, raw early Def Jam style drum machine beat with lots of horn and string samples. Out on Tired and Lonesome.
