BLACK CARROT
Volcano the Bear meets the Contortions meets Faust. .Formed in early 2000, ploughing the lonely field that is new wave/jazz/dark oddness.
BBC Radio 3’s ‘Mixing It’, supported the Fall. these three ultra-talented musicians are demanding, intimidating, frenetic and mental. Frankly, you wouldn't dare make them up. A crisp and sharp trio, comprising drums, both double and electric bass, electric piano and tenor sax and assorted woodwind instruments. Dedicated to the virtues of improvisation, it is hard to actually categorise them easily – which is to the good. This is music that has the rigour of improvisation done well but also is accessible via the jazzy rhythms, at times they reminiscent of a New York-style band like Defunct or James Chance and the Contortions from the punk jazz/loft side of the no-wave days.
