Carrot Top Records has three new releases that you are sure to love as a listener. Just hear what these reviews had to say:
The Bitter Tears - Jam Tarts in the Jakehouse OUT NOW
“Quite a lovely piece of work." —Aiding and Abetting
“This is art rock, pure and simple; Harmonious enough to catch you, dissonant to almost lose you, and endearing enough that you’ll come back to hear it again. The Bitter Tears will disturb your senses, and you’ll like it.” Wildy's World
“A Vibrant New Album: I imagine it goes without saying that I listen to a lot of albums. That said, "love at first listen" is a decidedly rare occurrence - I doubt it happens more than four times a year.”
Ryan's Smashing Life

Speck Mountain - Some Sweet Relief 3/17/09 PRE ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW
“Speck Mountain appeals to the surreal - one could imagine listening to this album in a wildly painted room filled with soft pillows and swirling, colorful lights. In a way, it’s an adequate replacement for drugs.”
www.Fensepost.com"There isn’t a weak song on this release, and this is sure to be a release that listeners put on repeat and listen to quite often...At times haunting, at times warm and breezy, there is a dream-like ambiance that permeates the collection."
Glide MagazineThe Handsome Family - Honey Moon 04/14/09
"This sounds, in the best possible way, like a record from a band that's been together for twenty years. In fact, it's more like eavesdropping on an old married couple's kitchen table conversation..."
My Old Kentucky Blog“If you have one single romantic bone in your body you will buy this record. If you’re a fan of Handsome Family as I am, you will buy it simply because it is them. What ever the reason, I promise you this: you will not be disappointed. “
Rod Ames - Texas Star TribuneAnother fine outing from the band. Brett and Rennie Sparks hit upon this style quite a while ago, but they certainly seem to have plenty of miles to roam. Let the songs wash over and bathe you in their glory.
