Details:
"it is nothing short of fantastic, easily one of the best rock albums I have heard this year"...."the closer - Soul Searching Song - which runs over 11 minutes, takes the entire album, ties it all together conceptually and musically, and then closes the curtain on one dynamite album that is hard to forget." 9.5/10 - Progressiveworld.net

"In "Fantastic Freak Show Carnival", King Bathmat has created an (almost) perfect form of escapism. It's a chance to journey into another universe, one that has a distinctly more psychedelic-tinge, and most importantly is brilliant fun. In fact, it's all the fun of the fair." - soundsxp

"music from another world"...."The suggestion that Bassett lives an insular life, free from knowledge of modern musical goings-on, couldn't be more ill-informed. On the contrary, Fantastic Freak Show Carnival suggests that he spent 20 years absorbing everything there is to hear in pop music, then developed his ability to effortlessly reproduce it all at once, without ever sounding derivative. Talk about a niche of your own..." - splendid magazine

"KingBathmat, continues his idiosyncratic musical odyssey with probably his most aggressive, and certainly his best, album to date...Great Stuff indeed!" - DPRP.net

"The song Fantastic Freak Show Carnival is really nifty, darting through movements yet sounding so coherently part of something bigger that you begin wondering if you're listening to some long forgotten rock opera by The Who - Tommy 2: Tommy Reloaded. Equally appealing is Ghost In The Fire which demonstrates a turn of phrase that is massively charming in a bitter, yet strangely polite way, and ends up catching a wave of absurd pop perfection like an English wing of the Super Furry Animals." MusicOMH


"a fantastic, listen-to-it-over-and-over record from a powered-up indie-rock trio"..."the album's lush arrangements and its diversity of material, Fantastic Freak Show Carnival at times recalls a simpler version of Brian Wilson's decades-delayed, recently released SMiLE" 4.5/5 - seaoftranquility.org

"KingBathMat's style is a mix of Porcupine Tree, Anti-Depressive Delivery and the likes"...."Simply, this is an album every music lover has to hear." 9/10 - RockReview


"KingBathmat has, in this album, produced its best work to date in all respects" - HHH
